rookie314 Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 this is where Alpine Helicopters sends its engineers to become "mechanics" (get there A&P) http://www.aesa.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchwrench Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 thanks, If only Alpine will go back to three bladed machines, I will be set. I thought SAIT was going to do it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST27 Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 We went to a local FAA office (Rochester NY) and showed our Canadian licence and some more papers and were given approval to write the exams and the name of the local examiner to do the practical. A Canadain company at home had the exams on a computer for I think $70 or $80 US per exam. 3 exams I think, I never did it because of the expence and no need for the licence but my buddy did and he went to the examiners business in the US and spent the day helping him around the shop and did a cyl change on a small single and then some US cash changed hands $300 or $400 and he had his A&P. I still have the papers if you need more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highbladedown Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Boy.....you guys lucked out on the A&P thing, I did mine through a Fasttrack course. As a request of the FAA in Dallas I had to produce a letter of experience, letter of the tasks I did, letter from TC, my AME lic and a letter from my employer. Spent 8 days at Red Bird Airport in Texas and completed the course like an other A&P would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Alpine will have a 3 bladed aircraft when Bell builds them one Frenchwrench. A loud cheer was heard in head-office when the last B2 was sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 The last B2 sold won't be a problem for EC there is still the B3, B4 (AKA EC130) ,EC120 ,EC155 and so on and so on. :elvis: :eye: :elvis: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 I remember when I was I DKW on a course myself and a couple of buddies stopped by an " aviation school" near the airforce base and we inquired about an A&P licence. The owner of the school started off with the 6 month course details,when we explained that we were only in the area for two more weeks he told us about the fast track course and for $500.00 we could use the quick study guide ( as he waved the FAA exam in front of us) and as we were obviously experienced the pratical would be waved,the only delay would be for the time waiting for the exam to be marked in Omaha. :elvis: :elvis: :elvis: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
