I can't believe I'm 47 years old and until recently met an a&p tech who has been in this line of work for a awhile now. Because of him I'm now taking the leap. This video is literally everything that I am but I'm coming from the automotive / side by side mechanic field. I do all my own work on my cars since I was 15. Super bummed it took me this long to learn about this field. I hope I can do this job for a long time. Great video I wish I would have found this back in 2006. Everything works out the way its supposed to.

To further educate some of you that would like to work on helicopters. Keep in mind that Air Ambulance Services such as Metro Aviation, Air Methods, PHI, Air Evac, and every other WILL require experience on helicopters. So just an A&P may not be enough. Air EMS does pay very well so these positions hire the "best of the best" if I can say it that way. Try to enroll in a factory school if possible. Airbus and Bell both have schools in Dallas. This may be the fastest way to become an entry level mechanic. Try for a heavy maintenance position as you will gain the experience you need.

Thanks for letting me know that I didn’t need much of an education. I didn’t need that associate degree in Aviation/ Maintenance Science and all those aircraft specific schools. Oh and I could have skipped all my schoolwork after I attained a 8th grade level of reading. Otherwise a real informed video.
