I’ve been aircraft mechanic for 17yrs. Love it
So glad to hear it!
Have you ever had the urge to be a commercial pilot?
@@jennasaisquoi5174 No. I enjoy the work
@@Anti.Vegans To get experience I started with a regional carrier at 14.50 hr. It’s hard to find a job with less than 2 yrs experience. Regionals are good for that. After that doors start opening for better jobs and higher pay
So is this industry still worth going to school for?
Met a man in the gym who works for CCAD. He put me into this career and I’m excited to start class in spring!
Awesome Roman! Great move. Hope you love it.
I’m also starting..can’t wait .. my dad been in this field for 20+ years ..
@BILA Music Excited to have you
Started at CCAD and moved on to Royce Royce 👍🏻 recommend this field
I just passed the FAA General....getting ready to take the Airframe test next week... :)
Hey! That's awesome. Congrats!
Congrats!!
How did the class go? Thinking about getting into it
i live in Georgia and i had an appointment to tour around the school, my intention was to register and start class on august 22 2020, but the review ive gotten lately from AIM has been kinda disappointing, my aim of going to back to school or studying AIM is because i wanted to be able to provide for my family. wish someone in the school can actually say something about the school or the pay.
@@jamescoleman5455 Classes were great. I went to West Los Angeles College in Culver City, CA. I just passed all my FAA written exams now. I will take my oral and practical test at the end of August. My advice is that if you LOVE airplanes, definitely go for it.
I finally realized this is want I want to do i go take the tour Thursday and talk about how I can get started with the classes
Hey!! That's awesome. Let us know if you need anything. We'd love to help you out.
Great video I start school on may 4th and I’m so excited this is an amazing career !
Awesome! How is it going for you so far?
@@SUUAviation its going great im loving all of the classes ans cannot wait todo the hands on portion of the classes.
@@willy.kilograms that's fantastic. We're glad to have you!
This is something I'm looking into but I'm based on speaking to people about it,I'm good with my hands and I've been doing mechanic on my own vehicles plus my friends so I think this would be something fun for me.
It sounds like it would be perfect for you! If you’re ready to apply, here’s the link. If not, feel free to reach out to us with any questions that you may have.

I’m about to start muy clases in California Aeronautical University, I’m really excited about it!
Congrats, good luck!
Hi🤘🏽 currently enrolled in chicago at AIM ☺️🙏🏽I can’t wait until I’m as accomplished as she is💪🏽💯 I can’t wait to get into the industry
How it’s going?
Eager to learn new challenges.
Was a A&P at a MRO. Had to sign next to Mechanics that weren't. Retired Navy and Retired from the MRO. Just like to watch video's.
I think one of the best ways is in the Air Force. They even have high schools where you get h s diploma plus a&p certificate.
i just enrolled this afternoon
Hey!! Glad to have you Micah. Welcome to the family.
Nice
I plan to take Aircraft Maintenance Technology in 2-3 years from now since I'm in 10th Grade. Any advice before taking the course?
Awesome. Try to knock out as many college generals in high school as you can. It will save you money in the long run!
get the asa test guides now,and wrench on anything you can
I'm in grade 10 and it's my dream to take AME or AMT as my career get the job....I want to be the first in my family to travel the world😭❤️and work with someone overseas 🙏🏼and learn more about people....teach one another ....
That's an awesome dream! We hope we can help you achieve that. Best of luck to you as you work your way there!
Any information on aviation mechanics who just got out of the army? Any opportunities there?
Definitely. You'll still need your A&P licenses but you can get those pretty quickly if you already have the experience. Give us a call if you'd like to learn more about that. 435-586-7862
How do you remember and know all the parts of an airplane and helicopter, also do you work on the engine or are you an electrician? What’s your job there?
It takes a lot of training! And yes, our A&P's work on all parts of the aircraft!
The information will magically transfer to your mind!
I reccomend watching day in life of aviation techs or anything like that to get a idea of what it is
I have a question!
I am currently a UH-60 Blackhawk level 3 mechanic, I studied in Salovakia. I graduated with 97.6% being the top second student, if I apply to A&P, will my accomplishments and work experience help me. I want to apply for A&P courses.
Please let me know.
I think you may still have to take the required course work necessary to take the testing 💯🤷🏽♀️ it all comes down to the time spent in the classes and the testing
Hello,From my research, I can see that the Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) is a certification, not a degree. If I would like to study the whole degree, for example, to learn how to program a computer, I would go on the field of Computer science, there I could get my Bachelor of science, Master and even a PHD. If I would like to follow the same concept but for being a the same career as you, in what field or program would I apply for?
Luckily, students in our A&P Maintenance program also pursue a degree along with getting that certification. If you’d like some more into on following this career, check out more of our videos or feel free to reach out over social media with any questions that you may have.
You may look into aereospace engineer. Best wishes.
Hi am currently going to school for my A&P and i am about to take my Airframe O&P and i am planing to buy some tool any recommendation on what to get first? My plan is to go Commercial Thanks
Hey Jose, if you request information from us on the A&P program, we may be able to send you a list of tools that we normally have our students get before they enter our program. You can find that link here: www.suu.edu/aviation/info-request.html
I'm starting in two weeks and the program is 18 months. Does anyone know if there's an advantage of you so the associate's degree as well? It takes an additional 6 months and I'm wondering if it's worth it if you wanna leave the US. I'm from Europe and would love to go back to Australia or Europe again and utilize it. If anyone had some insights that'd be great 🙂!
Go for it, now is the time , it will be a lot harder later. It wll likely give you a step ahead of another job seeker. I think it's even more important if you want to go for the airlines. Good luck.
@@jimprior5700 Thanks! I actually finished a semester early 1.5 years ago and am working as an Maintenance Analyst cause the Service Centers were just a giant pile of red flags! 😆
I'm starting school in 2 days.
Nice! Congrats.
@@SUUAviation thank you
How was it?🤣😭
@@heavenlyrosewilliams9656 educational
After a few months in how do you like it so far? Is the training intense but attainable?
Hmm I wonder what rank she got out as hydro was
Has anybody been to Chelsea College in Shoreham by Sea? Or Macclesfield College of FE? I have been to both have no licence!
I take my general in 3 weeks I’m so nervous
You've got this. There's a lot of support for our students out there (if you're in our program) so don't worry. And you can always chat with the director, Jared Britt, if you have questions. We want you to succeed!
Is artificial intelligence or A.I. involved to ruin a professional career????
Possibility for a mechanic/quality control specialist.?????
I used to work as a parts specialist for Santa Ana Harley-Davidson.Would this be a possibility????
Yes.
I want to join but there are a few school, what is your thought on MIAT?
You should attended what ever school that will works best for you
I’m a massage therapist and I’m thinking about doing this. Just wonder if the concepts are hard to grasp.
Hi there! Feel free to email or call us aviation@suu.edu 435-586-7862 and we can help you see if it's a good career path for you.
Can I learn how to become a pilot with the knowledge I learn in ap
It definitely helps, but you would still need to earn the same same certifications and flight hours as non-A&P's.
Thoughts about the course?
Feel free to contact us at 435-586-7862 or aviation@suu.edu and we’d love to tell you about the course.

What kind of hours do A&P mechanics work?
Hi Ubersaur! We have a video that answers this, along with going in-depth about A&P career paths: czcams.com/video/gHplbpIdpbM/video.html
Anyone else watching from aviation ait in eustis
👍
so if you do this in the military you can automatically get the same job when you leave?
Im going to try and do this through the navy, I know there's a program that through the navy you can get the experience you need and you will be able to test for your A&P license once you get out and then get a j9b
I asked this question 9n a different video aswell but no reply. Thinking they only respond to people that are concerned about attending their school
Wondering the same thing. Got a job as an AH-64 mechanic and am wondering about my opportunities in the civilian world. I hear a lot of great things from my peers.
You have to pay. But you get it refunded to you. Check your ed center
Hey Gabriel, we’re sorry we missed your comment. Sometimes comments just get lost in the mix of everything.
As for your question, it’s not guaranteed that you will get the same job that you had in the military. That depends entirely on what the FAA decides. You would most likely need to have the FAA review your case and then take the A&P test.
Feel free to contact us at 435-586-7862 or aviation@suu.edu and we’d love to help you both with figuring out the best course of action for you to take based on your needs. :)
Gonna have my (local) entrance exam on 2 days!! 😬😂☝🏼🤘🏼
That’s awesome! Good luck to you :D
Hi there! I have a diploma of professional aviation education. I finished Viborg College of Civil Aviation in Russia. My qualification is an aviation mechanic. I studied the same professional subjects as: aircraft design, engine design, aerodynamics, hydraulics, the theory of aviation engines, aviation law, aviation economics, aviation technical English. All this can be seen in the list of studied subjects in the diploma. How i can study in USA with Russian passport?
Hi there Maverick! If you send an email to aviation@suu.edu we can get you in contact with a person in our international office that can help you with your question.
science of industry muesum aircraft there .. 👍 subs and boats took

Great question, we made a video on the return on investment and pay of an A&P mechanic. Here’s the link!
czcams.com/video/nmAgZOMv3x4/video.html

I've seen only about 3 female mechanics that are way more attractive then her. No offense lol.
SIMP ALERT

From your voice it doesn't look like interesting job for females.
Hey Ahmed, just like any job it really depends on the individual’s personal preferences.
Least misogynistic Ahmed
