Cleared for Takeoff
So, A local community college here offers classes to become an A&P mechanic.
Its basically an "Associates Degree in Aviation Technology" or something like that. It can either be a degree (if you have the gen ed classes, which mine from my other ocllege should transfer), or you can just get the A&P certificates without the "degree".
Working full time, I would have to take the night classes. They said it would take about 3 years taking night classes, about 78 credits at this school. Each credit-hour at this school is $50
To those A&P mechanics out there, does this sound reasonable?
I haven't done much research, but I've spoken to other guys I work with who have done this exact program and they recommended it.
I honestly don't intend to do this for a "job", maybe just for the fun of learning it, or trying to help friends I know who own planes.
Is there anything I should be extra careful about?
