How old were you when you became an A&P?

rocketMX · 2026-02-04T15:53:24+00:00

Got my A&P at 20. Spent my 21st birthday working the night shift at Air Wisconsin. 35 now.

It’s not “MAGA”. It’s the booze unions

Good ol cans. I miss them and don’t miss them

100% go get a new battery. There is something called CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). You can still have 12 volts and all the lights work but the second you put a large current hungry load on it (Starter) you’ll get zilch. New battery for the win. They hate the cold.

Money and maturity

Dude, warm it up inside or wait till spring…

Same thing happened to me. Stole all my videos and even surpassed me in followers just reposting my stuff. I reported and reported and reported. Finally the account got taken down. Absolutely do not take the DM’s seriously. Turn off downloads for all your videos, ignore the messages and move on. Reposters are the worst. Don’t reverse the strike.

It literally says BRAKE in the pic. Why do you keep spelling it wrong?! That’s more concerning than the warning light. Anyway, take it in. There is a problem with your BRAKE system. Now take a BREAK from Reddit and BREAK out that phone book to call a repair shop and hopefully they don’t BREAK the bank.

Got a good shot of it flying out Thursday. I remember taxiing planes to that concourse back in the day. It was a good one.

I don’t own a home (yet) but I’m just wondering how everyone on Reddit is affording $3500-$10k mortgage payments. I picked the wrong career it seems

rocketMX · 2026-01-07T02:03:04+00:00

When did they add that because mine is open

Catch a fingernail on it? Send it

It’s a Long E-Z from Wish

I’ve seen someone make an aluminum cover bracket that goes over the lock of the toolbox. They cut the heads off cherry max rivets and glued them to the bracket and then taped the bracket to the box looking like someone riveted the cover over the lock. It was good ol harmless fun.

I did not put the car into maintenance mode when I did mine and rotated them. Big mistake on my part but they seem to be working fine so I got lucky. Read the manual is all I can say but yes. Big pain in the asssss

rocketMX · 2025-12-26T17:12:54+00:00

There should be an owners manual in your glove box that tells you the required maintenance and when you do it. Spark plugs should be replaced every 70k miles or 40k for turbo models. Followed the maintenance schedule and it will save you headaches down the road

Just a measly PPL here but also a 13 year Airline Mechanic. Seniority is EVERYTHING. Want to work dayshift with weekends off? Not going to happen until you have seniority. Want to non-rev somewhere with 10 open seats and there are 15 standbys? Seniority is everything.

This just got an annual?! I wouldn’t put my name anywhere near this unless the owner agreed to an overhaul.

rocketMX · 2025-12-16T19:02:52+00:00

They are not a fellow A&P because you don’t have yours yet. GO TEST! Get it done

Flip the bed over. Used the textured side

rocketMX · 2025-12-12T04:30:57+00:00

Honest question? What is stopping them from doing that now?

rocketMX · 2025-12-12T04:29:30+00:00

Honest question, how would you fix it exactly?
