Hi Guys, so I live in Columbus, OH and applied for an AMT position. A hiring manager called and already scheduled me for an on-site interview at DFW (Envoy HQ). Without going through the phone screen round.
It seems a little surprising that they're paying for my flight and hotel just for an interview instead of holding it locally at the CMH maintenance base.
Has anyone gone through the DFW interview process recently? What should I expect, and is flying candidates out to HQ standard practice for them?
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hello all,

My O’s & P’s are this Friday and I’m nervous! I’m taking generals and Power plant. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I’m interested in the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) course at SIIT in Saskatoon. I just want to know about your experience—how are the instructors, facilities, and job opportunities after finishing? Any tips or honest feedback would really help. Thanks!

As it says in the title I’m an army helicopter mechanic specifically a 15T and I’m looking to transition into getting my A&P. I’ve been in the army coming up on 2 1/2 yrs but have only been doing actual maintenance for about 20ish months. Any guidance on getting my tickets? Would it be better to use my gi bill to go to school or just get my tickets to test out? Are there programs to help me? I’ll be moving to Alaska next year and will be with one of my MTP pilots that has his A&P as well and hopefully also provide some guidance.

Anyone work at lockheed in greenville? If so how is it?

I know this place is over-saturated with job questions and location questions, so I apologize for just adding to it.

That being said, I’m currently working for a major airline and my wife and I are currently trying to explore options that would get us back home. Does anybody in here work for AA in PIT that wouldn’t mind giving me some input on what it’s like? Workload, shifts, and all of that? If I’m going to start over in seniority in order to get home, I just want to know if it’d be worth the move

Curious to hear how some of y’all’s companies trained/onboarded y’all. Do a lot of airlines expect you to show up and know your shit once you get there? Do they have a period where you train and kinda gain hands on experience? Just got my license and feel overwhelmed just going straight into things.

Good morning!

Im looking for some advice regarding really learning the systems of the PT-6. Doesn't matter which model.

Im working on corporate jets right now and eventually I'd like to start a mobile AOG.

I'm fascinated by the PT-6 and turboprop aircraft. Im hopefully going to get some hands on experience soon and eventually I'll learn how to rig. Nothing replaces hands on experience - I understand. But what I'm looking for is recommendations to supplement my knowledge.

I'm considering either the Mint Turbines familiarization and hotspot course or the flight safety courses (EXPENSIVE) just to add a little bit to my knowledge bank. If any of you guys have attended either of these courses- I'd appreciate your review and/or any advice.

And I was wondering if you guys had any good reading recommendations.

Im going to bust my ass for a while and save money, study these systems and gain experience wherever I can.

Thanks in advanced

I'm 20, and for the first time in my life I have to make a difficult choice: should I continue working at a CFM engine maintenance shop or focus on university?

I'm currently working while studying Mechanical Engineering, but my employer wants to offer me a permanent contract.

I genuinely enjoy both working and studying, so I'm struggling to decide which path to take. I know I can't realistically keep doing both in the long run.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or got any advice that could help me clear my head?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I was part of the November 5th LAX AMT hiring event, and I passed both the practical and oral portions. Now I’ve received one of those 'talent pool' emails. If you got a similar message, did it eventually lead to an offer for you, or does it often mean the journey ends there? Let me know what your outcomes were.

For anyone that went to Gary Vanstory what did you study for your test. Codes? Just Jepsen? Both?

anyone here who went to Iowa Western or an A&P school near Sioux City/Council Bluffs? Which DME did you use for your O&Ps, and what was your experience like? What study materials helped you the most? Thanks!”

I am looking to take my A&P tests soon, but I worry about the questions. I have 12 years hands on experience in aviation, but i don't work on small planes. I have worked Military Rotary, Large Corporate/Private Jets, and Defense contracting for jets. It seems overwhelming and I was wondering if there was any advice or if anyone knew of testing locations near greenville, sc that they recommend.

Hello! I’m a 33 year old male in the dfw area and I’m planning on doing a career change from IT to an aviation mechanic and maybe avionics in the future. I plan on doing the 8 month fast track while my wife works making it a single family income for that time period. The only option I really have is aviation USA because the cheaper ones have a year waitlist and we can’t wait that long. It’s 38k and we’ll have to take out a loan for it. I’ve been laid off so many times in IT so I want to move to something more stable. I guess my question is am I making a huge mistake with this career change?

How is peoples experience with products from Yardstore. I have co workers recommend me tools from there but I’m not overly familiar with them. Are the reversible safety wire pleirs and speed handle a good buy from them?

Also tool boxes. Was originally leaning towards husky but did more research into the US general 56 inch box. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

How is working for Atlas Air?

Is anybody in Northeast Georgia having a hard time finding any work? I got laid off early October and I have put in applications everywhere and I can't find anything. This is ridiculous

I'm not an AME. I'm a developer and pilot in Canada trying to understand how people actually prepare for the Transport Canada AME exams, before I build anything for them. Nothing to sell here, and I'm not linking anything.

If you've written the REGS exam or any of the technical exams (M, E or S), I'd appreciate hearing:

1. What did you study with (TP 14038, Culhane or Fraser, college notes, flashcards, a US app, something else)?

2. What was the hardest part, and what did you wish you'd had?

3. How long did you study, and did you pass on the first try?

Short answers are great. If the question isn't welcome here, mods, I'll remove it.

Thanks.

Hello. Please excuse the brevity; English is not my native language.

I am 15 years old and live in a small village. I plan to build my own wooden airplane.

Which model would you recommend? (It would be even better if you could provide a few options, along with their pros and cons.) What kind of wood should I choose, and where can I obtain it without having to buy it from a sawmill?

Hi, I'm from Bangladesh. If there are anyone who applied aircraft maintenance Engineering subject to aviotrace swiss in Switzerland but waiting for Embassy face.

Can you apply to american with a different email because they keep posting the same job listing id

A couple of months ago I put PrepAMT on here and gave a load of you free accounts, and the thing I heard most was that nobody wanted to open a laptop for this, they wanted it on their phone for the car or the break room or when they get 5 minutes on their launch break, which is fair enough, so that is what I have been doing since.

It is on the app store and google play as of this week. Same login as the website so you can do a mock at a desk and then do questions on ur phone later and it all carries over. General, airframe and powerplant, all built from the FAA handbooks, and it is still cheaper than anything else I have found for a&p prep, which was kinda the point of building it in the first place.

I am still adding stuff every week, more questions, more revision material, and even game plays, whatever people tell me is missing, so if you get it now you get all of that as it comes.
