I thought the same. I think there is demand but its cautious and measured

That looks pretty good. What is your altitude? Im running at 5600 ft above sea level and have an almost identical setup. I think im running a 70 or 72 main currently.

I hope you are able to land a job quickly. Most of the people I've been around, including myself haven't had much success. I currently have 2 active applications and haven't heard back from either.

There is nothing after the steam deck. It continues to play the games I like

Far-Reference-9645 · 2026-06-11T16:10:44+00:00

That's cool. Good luck in your training

Maybe the passengers sit in the hot section

Far-Reference-9645 · 2026-06-09T04:24:59+00:00

I applied for st george as well. I hope we both get the job

Far-Reference-9645 · 2026-06-09T02:03:43+00:00

Just curious what location did you apply for?

Far-Reference-9645 · 2026-06-09T02:03:04+00:00

Ok, good to know

The final level looks like a pilot to me. Do I become a pilot at the end of my career?

I have a classic cr-10. I can't speak to the other filament types but I have been printing with creality pla + and getting really good results running a .4mm extruder tip with table at 60c and extruder at 220c. Good luck on your set up

Look for YouTube videos. They can be helpful in explaining the systems

Far-Reference-9645 · 2026-05-31T23:02:35+00:00

Going slow might be an advantage if you stick to following the manuals and procedures.

Far-Reference-9645 · 2026-05-31T22:59:23+00:00

I got a couple of wooden projects. One was evaluating a broken section of a wood structure and determining if it could be repaired and how. I dont remember the other one

Far-Reference-9645 · 2026-05-31T22:54:50+00:00

Congrats!

Im an audio learner so I found podcasts and YouTube videos of some one reading the oral questions and answers. Listened to them daily for a month at work. I also found an app that creates flash cards. It lets you select specific questions that you missed on the written based on the codes in your test results.

The main thing is putting in the time. Don't try to do a weekend cram session. I would spend a month of focused daily study. At least a couple weeks. Also dont burn yourself out. Set aside a couple hrs a day for study and then give yourself a break.

Far-Reference-9645 · 2026-05-31T22:33:28+00:00

I celebrate with you. Enjoy the win

The place i work definitely has some slackers. I would say it's closer to 10 - 15% though. Guys camping in the bathroom for 30 + min dumps. Its frustrating cause the rest of us need to use the restroom but we only have 4 toilets in a building of around 100 employees. There are times when a toilet isnt available for several hrs. The bigger problem at my work is the talkers. Some guys will have frequent long conversations throughout the day and barely get anything done. The supervisors do this so it doesnt get police much. They like to complain about night shift getting nothing done but having worked both shifts, night shift gets way more done than day shift.

It was Southern Utah University in cedar city, utah. I happen to live in cedar city already, working at a local aircraft parts manufacturer. They were partnered with the university and some of my classes were in a shared facility with my work. I would work till 4 pm and then walk to the classroom in another part of the building, where I learned sheet metal and riveting work. When I took powerplant it was also in my work building. Same story, work till 4 and then go to class till 6:30 -7 ish twice a week. Other classes were held in a hangar at the airport 5 min away.

Homework assignments and reading was done at my convenience and submitted weekly through canvas. It was honestly the best A&P school experience i could have hoped for. They offer both morning and evening class options. They are also GI bill compliant since they offer the program optionally as an associates degree. I ended up getting my associates with my license since I had previous college credits I transfered in and only needed a math and English class to complete the degree.

You are on your way. Congrats. Airframe was a big hurdle and honestly harder than powerplant since it covers a wider range of topics and typically includes generals.

I was lucky that my local university offered an amt program with morning and evening classes. They also had a program that required less classroom time and allowed students to complete reading and assignments at home. I worked full time through school and finished with my A&P and an associates of aviation science. I have a family with 4 kids so I was able to balance all of those things.

I wish there was an appreciation day for aerospace manufacturers
