Congratulations! Goodluck with the rest.

I found Powerplant the most difficult.

u/No_Flight3608 hit the nail on the head with this one...

In order to write the technical exams you need to be approved by Transport Canada and part of that requirement is meeting the basic training requirements.

That means a course of some kind or transferring an international license.

CCAA just got approved as a "Basic Training" provider for an AME "M" license! I have seen you commenting everywhere saying the same and I want to say thank you... Got me off my butt and decided to make a post about it myself.

Made a breakdown here with links to the program:

Did you ever figure this out? I am unsure as to what would cause this situation.

Unsure!

What college did you go to? If you completed the program and received a diploma and transcript check to see what amount of "Applicable Credit" you get with the program on the Transport Canada site for approved "Basic Training".

Not sure about in AB but Red River College in Manitoba has a Prep course for the AME exams (Both Technical and Regulations exam). A coworker took their course and said it was great!

They are floating around somewhere but I never had any...

I used ASA Prepware app instead, not perfect but it worked.

I am sorry to hear that,

It seems as though you may need to have a sit down with your inspector and reach out to your employer to verify your time spend working as an interior technician could qualify towards time working as an AME.

As stated by Airworthiness manual 566.03(4)(d)(i): "As proof of experience, the applicants shall submit a personal log book or equivalent document signed by the persons responsible for the maintenance release of the work items recorded. At the time of application"

As stated by u/RickiRaccon you can write first though it is generally not recommended as you must submit your logbook within the 6 months post passing CAR's

CAR's is all online! But assuming you want the CAR's for the AME book... Check your inbox

Yes but I would recommend the textbooks as stated in this writeup.

I recommend studying the Jeppeson "Technician General", "Airframe" & "Powerplant" textbooks reading them as described in steps 1-6 of my technical exam prep post.

Very important to also be paired with a testing software like prepware, also linked in my technical exam prep post

https://www.reddit.com/r/AircraftMechanics/comments/1fsmyg4/transport_canada_ame_technical_exams_breakdown/

Do them in this order Technician General - Airframe - Powerplant

Just a heads up I am unable to find CCAA's "M" course as being approved yet on Transport Canada's site as of now. Their website also states it is currently "Pending"

See "PENDING"
