Jack, If you are getting your A & P to work on your plane, it is a great ticket to have. I guess things have changed over the past 30 years but there used to be a 5 year apprenticeship before the candidate could take the tests. The exams are not easy, one needs to try and put reality on the back burner and just learn the King tapes to get the written out of the way. On mine there was also an extensive oral and practical, including component overhaul and rivetting. I would strongly caution anyone who is contemplating a career as an A&P, there is no money in it unless you can get hired on as the maintenance tech for a small jet. I believe aviation is the most unstable form of employment out there, and would try to dissuade anyone from contemplating aviation maintenance as a means of putting food on the table. Alaska Pete
