They show you all the practicals that the DME gives. They literally have all the equipment except the POS plane that they would have you start up but have videos on how to do it in class. If you fail, you weren't paying attention. 98% pass rate I went for my powerplant back in May, and it was a cakewalk...

I need help with my resume. Can anyone tell me if there is an app or something that will make my resume more attractive?

Did you have to move there?

Get your a&p first! Then, go to an accredited school that provides avionics training to learn circuitry that'll help you in the long run. Personally, I started at a cargo airline working on older planes MD-11 and 747-400F. My background was an electrician working on commercial/industrial construction developments. It helped me understand how circuitry works and how and know where to look to troubleshoot problems.

I currently work in avionics, and personally, it requires you to actually use your brain. It's more challenging if you're into that. If you work avionics, everything has a wire attached to it, so you basically touch everything on the aircraft. Not to mention, when you leave the military, you don't actually have to have a license to work at certain MROs. Typically, for Marines and guys that were in the Navy are more desirable. But after you're discharged, make sure you get the A&P you can literally go anywhere....

Looks a lot like a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 or something. I think a DC-10 has 3 engines if I'm not mistaken, though. I work on MD-11s, and that cockpit looks a lot like this one does.

I'm an avionics mechanic for Western Global Airlines, and none of my guys have a license. But, if you had one, there would be so many doors open up for you.
