a&p

Last night I had the most unbelievable and unique exchange on Facebook Messenger. I had just flown home to KLZU from KPNS, where I and two friends had just flown down for the day to watch the Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow. I crossed the KATL Bravo at 4500 feet, where I passed over this...

What happens when a hobbs meter goes down and thus stops recording. When you fix it, how do you know what to set it to? Would you do the same for calculating PIC time accumulated while hobbs was down?

I’ve started a YouTube channel for some of the things we see in our GA shop. It’s not like a “how to”, mainly we just show things we find that are bad, and talk about how we may fix it. It’s been challenging compiling all the clips, because everyone is airdropping me things. Just curious...

Hey guys Have a quick question I can’t find the answer to on google. When an A&P signs off on a 100 hr does he need to print his name on the log? For example is it legal to describe all work completed and say A&P xxxxxxx with a scribble signature that you can’t even make out. On all other log...

Good day, PoA. I was wondering what the folks here thought would be some easily serviced piston singles when outside of the US - mainly in Latin America. For context I'd like to purchase something in the next ~year or so and eventually move/fly around Latin America (anything I purchase will...

Hey all, posted here a couple times pre Covid and now I’m starting to worry if dropping nearly 100k for flight training/school is a good idea. I have two questions- What is the likely hood of the pilot shortage coming back? At this point in time, I’m aiming more towards corporate flying than...

Hi, I'm brand new to the forums. Also, while I've been obsessed with aviation since I was a kid, I'm only just now starting my way towards a PPL. My question has to do with having both a PPL and an A&P. A little bit of background. I am a jet engine mechanic for the United States Air Force...
