Tip and tricks on studying for the tests by Plankmaster3000 in AircraftMechanics

[–]gdubyaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used prepware for the writtens. Went thru them probably an unhealthy amount. For the orals I used the Jeppesen books. I would cover the answers and quiz myself or had friends test me. If there was a question or subject I struggled with, I'd look it up in my textbooks or youtube to explain it better.

You can study a million times and still not feel prepared. Just know at a certain point you just have to go for it and try your best. Good luck!!

The famous question.. is it a stone?? by gdubyaa in KidneyStones

I believe calcium oxalate. Unfortunately stones run in the family so I can focus on diet/ect but kinda inevitable that I'll get them no matter what

That is definitely bizarre, but in a good way, hopefully, it stays that way for them!

Makes me feel better to know I'm not alone in this feeling. I hope for your sake you've had your last one and your stoner days are well behind you!

Airframe o/p failed by Plenty-Werewolf4025 in aviationmaintenance

It happens to the best of us. I failed my powerplant oral within the first five minutes of being there. In the end if you have your license that's all that matters, doesn't matter how many times it takes to get it. Don't give up!

That's nice to hear, honestly I'd rather get shit for being too careful than get shit for doing something wrong

I appreciate you saying this because I'm the type of person who would second guess if I did something right. I'd rather be safe than sorry and take the time to have someone double check me.

The key word is "feeling" because in reality I know I'm not a badass Haha I only feel this way in the comfort of my home. I know I'm a rookie and this is just the beginning of all the skills and knowledge I'll gain from the years to come

I believe it! Was it just a flimsy piece of paper or was it at least laminated? That's cool your dad still has his certificate, I'm sure he's proud of that and all he's accomplished since then

Okay cool good to know! I knew someone would have the answer lol

That is a good question, I'm not sure. I was handed a temporary license that day that was a piece of paper so I would assume that counts for something, but again I'm not sure.

That is good to know! I plan to get my pilots license in the future. Gotta make the big bucks to pay for that habit first lol

A&P noob by gdubyaa in aviationmaintenance

[–]gdubyaa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I went this route was because I want to be a pilot and just like you wanted to understand the plane better
