[@eh4jjyet]

I am an automotive technician, is there a lot of difference between A&P technician??

[@EpicAviationEpicFlightAcademy]

Great question! Automotive and aircraft technicians are alike in many ways. Both require a solid understanding of mechanical systems, especially engines, hydraulics, and electrical components. Technicians in both fields are often skilled in using diagnostic tools and equipment to identify and repair issues. Accurate troubleshooting and critical thinking are essential in restoring functionality. Automotive and aircraft technicians both follow detailed procedures to ensure repairs meet standards. Also, safety is a critical concern for both, however it is especially important for aircraft technicians. However, it should be noted that there are significant differences between the two fields as well. Aircraft systems are generally more complex and larger in scale than automotive systems. Aircraft technicians work with more intricate components and need a deep understanding of aerodynamics, avionics, and aviation-specific systems. They are also subject to much stricter regulations, with rigorous standards set by aviation authorities like the FAA. Their work is usually more heavily documented and scrutinized. Perhaps the most significant difference is the potential consequences of errors: mistakes in aircraft maintenance can have catastrophic outcomes, including loss of life. As a result, aircraft technicians must adhere to higher standards of professionalism, precision, and accountability compared to automotive technicians, where the consequences of errors, though serious, are typically less severe.

Does getting higher grades on your O&P’s (and subsequently any course work/exams given throughout the schooling process) open you up to making more $$ as a new hire? I’m about to finish General and even though 70% is all you need to pass I’ve been working my tail off to not let any grade drop below a 90%. So like when I graduate, will employers even care if I have a higher “GPA” or O&P test scores? (Trying to figure out any and everything I can do to increase my “hire-ability” and starting pay once I graduate as I have absolutely Zero applicable work experience prior to attending a 147 school)

[@thetruth8206]

We will see less and less A&P graduating because PSI A California base company took over the test and they are in the business to make money causing the failing of Aviation students by the test they created. In an school of aeronautics 500 students failed one one more test twice. The cost to be retested it is $175. Do the math. $175 x 500 students failed one test = $87,500 profit for PSI. PSI Granted the FAA contract with rd b no competition. Fight to remove PSI FROM THE FAA TESTING.

[@kinoryu9512]

@TheTruth8206 Oh your talking about the knowledge tests with the FAA, those are easy, passed on my first tries. The O&P tests are a little more challenging but it isn’t all that bad since it’s pretty much the same material just in oral and hands on form. If you attended a part 147 Aviation licensed school you should have no problem understanding and passing the required tests
