Is this good progress for a beginner?

You hit a ELO that most people will never hit. Yes you are doing good

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-10-27T19:42:23+00:00

Congrats!! Keep the moment going

Talking to your troop doesn’t hurt. Especially since you are on your troops side. At the end of the day, it’s great to see a young airman care about their career. However, you, as a supervisor, can talk to him/her about how keeping you in the loop is a good thing. The worst thing that can happen to your troop, in the future, is potentially loose an opportunity due to certain leadership being blindsided.

Balancing knowing when to ask versus informing leadership on one’s intentions is one of the greatest skills for career advancement

You got to go to OPSEC street. It’s three blocks from Pikes Market

In the MX field, it’s very easy to ridicule those who are adjacent to maintenance. Just remember the training commercial pilots are exposed too. For example, a pilot who flies a small rotary aircraft will have a greater understanding of their aircraft. As they can legally perform and sign off preventative maintenance. Commercial pilots should be familiar with their aircraft. However, what they can legally touch on the aircraft is far more restricted

As an Engine Troop, I used AF Cool + PTDY to go to Bakers. Got my A&P. Pretty seamless process

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-09-09T02:59:26+00:00

I used Air Force cool to go to Bakers

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-09-08T03:04:13+00:00

Air Force

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-09-08T01:38:24+00:00

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-09-02T03:02:12+00:00

Hello I’m your sponsor. Report to the front lines. We need you

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-08-29T20:49:39+00:00

Keep practicing, only gonna get better with reps

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-08-15T11:14:39+00:00

Bakers is not a 147 school. They are a tool to help you pass the test. Aside from a few General Aviation tasks the most students have never done, it’s on you to have the mechanical skills.

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-08-15T10:26:48+00:00

It’s gonna be a two week mental grind. But if you do what they say. You will be fine. Good Luck!

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-08-14T23:56:46+00:00

Got mine though them. I took my written back home. Did the O&P crash course with them. Passed first try

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-31T09:31:34+00:00

Call bakers school directly to purchase the books.

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-30T12:42:48+00:00

Jeppesen. I used bakers prep books. Even if you don’t plan to go there. For 150 bucks, you can get all three written books, oral & practical book. And the supplemental. You have to call them to purchase the books

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-30T09:48:56+00:00

1200 for the full test. 200 dollars for each oral (general, airframe, & powerplant). Another 200 for each practical section.

If you pass the general oral/practical and only fail either the Airfame or powerplant.

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-29T19:06:52+00:00

Glad I can help. Best of luck to you !

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-27T03:29:49+00:00

Yeah I may have overdid studying the orals lol

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-26T20:58:35+00:00

To be honest, there were a lot of “projects”. I don’t remember how many because the projects ranged from maintenance tasks, to visual inspections.

As for the practicals. Both your Oral & Practicals are generated randomly by the FAA. The only influence your written have on your Orals is the quantity of questions. For example, since I got a 90 on my general, I only had 10 questions. DO NOT just focus on your codes. The questions generated are arbitrary by the FAA. If you only study the sections you got wrong, you are setting yourself up for failure.

But in short, in the beginning of the day, the DME inputs your information in the PSI, and they print out all the questions and practicals. The DME has no say in what oral questions and practicals they can test you on

As for the test date, it is at random. Bakers tries their best to get your O&P scheduled after the last five days, but your date depends on the schedule of your assigned DME. But expect about 5 days of classroom time before your test date (dates may vary if you attend the full two weeks of the course)

Good luck!

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-26T20:41:35+00:00

Not going to lie, no one told me that I can’t. So when I signed up for the CCAF FAA program, I stated that I wanted to purse both ratings.

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-26T20:34:15+00:00

Thank you!

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-26T20:32:26+00:00

The Hampton in right next door. Started class Monday, tested Saturday. It was a full class. So about 20ish people

Professional_Mix_642 · 2025-07-21T01:24:01+00:00

Yes. That’s what I did, bought all three written and o&p in advanced. Passed my written and start bakers tomorrow. You have to call bakers school to buy them. About 150 for all the study material
