There are several ways to attain experience for your Airframe & Powerplant License. FAR 65 states: Section 65.77: Experience requirements.Each applicant for a mechanic certificate or rating must present either an appropriate graduation certificate or certificate of completion from a certificated aviation maintenance technician school or documentary evidence, satisfactory to the Administrator, of— (a) At least 18 months of practical experience with the procedures, practices, materials, tools, machine tools, and equipment generally used in constructing, maintaining, or altering airframes, or powerplants appropriate to the rating sought; or (b) At least 30 months of practical experience concurrently performing the duties appropriate to both the airframe and powerplant ratings.
As a member in the military your AFSC may give you the experience required by the Federal Aviation Administration for the Airframe & Powerplant License. FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 65-30 specifies which AFSC’s and skill levels are eligible for the respective rating.
Following are and the older MOS codes for the Air Force, U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, dated March 2001. The new codes are used for active duty time after January 1990. The older codes are still valid for people wishing to credit their military aviation maintenance experience toward meeting the requirements of the FAA airframe and powerplant mechanic certificate.

NOTE: The following NECs are aircraft specific and are awarded to individuals advancing from the AD (powerplant), AM (structures), AE (electronics), or AT (avionics). The only individuals that should be given consideration for an A and/or P rating are ones who have held an AM or AD rating. Therefore, the FSDO needs to determine individuals’ background to ascertain if they have held an AM or AD rating. If so, then the FSDO can determine, through the interview process, on whether the individual meets the qualifications for an A and/or P rating: |
