He can't exercise A&P privileges until he gets a replacement certificate. Can do that on-line. It's $2. If he still has SSN on certificate, get that removed as well. FAA says 4-6 weeks but you may as well double those numbers. Once he receives the certificate in the mail he can get to work.

I somewhat agree with that. However, in every field there's always a politician that manages to inflate his credibility to a level higher than what was earned. Don't be swooned by names and titles.

All you're paying for is a name and the results are rarely better than anywhere else.

They don't call it an "annual" for nothing!

The 147 min is 1900 hrs. Where I went to A&P School the curriculum was 1950 hrs.(Seen some as high as 2100hr). It took me 2 yrs but I had a more than normal absences and had to make up the time I missed. Part 147 allows a max of 8 hrs/day, 6 days/wk, or 40 hrs per week of instruction so 1900 /...

I want to know why the "employee of the month" parking spot at sam's club is always empty? Is the workforce falling short?

Don't know about the others but some hospitals will pay off student loans for a Dr.

Ah, so that explains why I once flew a regional plane from Montreal to Atlanta (~1100 miles) to Eluthera (~750 miles) to Atlanta (~750 miles) then got on a mainline A321 to DH to Birmingham (~140 miles), lol. Oh don't worry. It's real and they are trying to address it. It's almost comical. When...

Absolutely. Two runways, one piece of pavement, ILS in each direction, one ILS frequency, two different ID's depending on which one the controlling facility has selected. Have also had equipment that displays the ID phonetically show the wrong ID even though the Morse code was identifying the...

A 150 will be one unexpected item away from breaking your budget. It doesn't have to be a $30k item, an unexpected $4000 bill is going to break you. You'll need to find a mech who will work with you to keep the plane flying. You might also look for a like minded person who would be interested in...

Because you're a worthless bag of meat to an airline until you can hold some kind of ATP certificate.

I always like the ones patterned after a Chinese takeout menu. Never able to find the same thing twice.

I've bought planes sight unseen. One was at auction. Can always figure out what's wrong with it when you get it home.

The third "pilot" is a language translator? lol.

So does that mean at some point expensive maintenance and periodic inspections can be discontinued? If those task no longer ensure integrity of the aircraft, they can be dropped and we just rely on luck, correct?

unless it's inverted in which case "up" has a new meaning.

A lot more than you can put on it. Just think, you can buy that plane, fly it 350 hrs over the next yr (~1 hr every day) then sell it for the same amount (or more) unless the the used market collapses. The added time is meaningless at this point.

and if the resultant lift vector is pointing in an undesirable direction it may exacerbate, not resolve the situation.

Tell the instructor you want a tailwheel endorsement and a flight review. I'm reasonably confident the instructor can figure out how to integrate those two task.

Your airplane doesn't know if it's in a dive or not. All it knows is velocity is increasing and it will try to return to it's last trimmed airspeed - it can accomplish this only if the wings are somewhere close to level.
