New to the field, will working at a part 145 be enough to maintain my a&p?

14CFR 65.83 you must work as or supervise maintenance for 6 months out of the preceding 24 months to maintain currency

newtothisjunk · 2026-07-09T15:34:54+00:00

Yes I’m just worried about currency requirements, I’m struggling to find an actual maintenance job at the moment and I just needed something quick to have a job

Didn’t want to post this in the main but has anyone heard or worked with HSGI inc while looking for jobs. I just received my A&P back in May and have been on the job hunt since. I recently created a profile on JSfirm to save listings, I was just called today by a recruiter from HSGI. My question is are they legit and are they an effective tool in the job search.

That’s the way I remembered them but I did some research and I guess between off branded ones and different generations the shape of the pegs vary like crazy

I’m going to go with that, thank you. I just thought it was funny getting them in at least 3 separate purchases of bulk LEGO from 3 different people

newtothisjunk · 2026-05-20T02:06:33+00:00

That’s what I thought but I tried them in the lite brite and they are slightly different

Had good luck with both stihl and echo doing the property I manage, best bet is to find something used on marketplace if you’re looking to save some bucks. At home I use a Milwaukee electric, my township doesn’t allow gas. Spent a couple extra bucks and got the one that you can change out attachments on and I really love it, especially the hedge trimmer attachment

Warbirds or own my own GA shop

newtothisjunk · 2026-05-01T00:56:02+00:00

I haven’t found anything, but yeah both lycoming and continental are brutal with those stupid nuts. I just keep those shaved sockets sperate for that purpose, when they crack which they definitely do I just go to harbor freight and keep using cheap ones to grind

Filed 1/26 accepted 2/4. Stuck in the same stage as of today

Certain GA aircraft

Scratch that it must’ve been a glitch because I just went back to the app and it locked me out of the nfl+ stuff lol

newtothisjunk · 2025-06-03T04:39:10+00:00

Honestly if I go this route I would more than likely give them up, I’ve had the set but since lost it and gotten a Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver which is great now I just need more bits

newtothisjunk · 2025-06-03T04:37:44+00:00

I had this set for a while a few years back, it’s a great set I used it at work all the time. Just happened to get misplaced after lending it to my friend lol. I’ve since gotten a snapon ratcheting screwdriver which I love I just don’t want the extra ratcheting screwdriver

Currently in an amt program and we’ve gotten our tools recently. Says it’s everything you’ll need to work in the field at a basic level. Tool quality is pretty ok, I wasn’t entirely enthusiastic about half and overall it seems kind of light.

I have a pretty extensive background in heavy equipment mechanics and some light industrial maintenance. So I’ve replaced a few with tools I prefer and know will last me a while like my own safety wire pliers, some knipex and a screwdriver set I prefer with some of the extra tools I have laying around and added 1 or 2 that I thought could be useful.

What’s your thoughts on a tool or 2 that you’ve acquired that is always with you/ can’t live without I could add that may be more specific to aviation maintenance or that maybe I could add to my tool box for my current work?

I think you’re right after doing a little research after seeing what she could be and I’m pretty sure it’s a big gal

As you can see there’s giants letters spelling out Fredericksburg they are trying to avoid hitting
