Austin’s Answer

Hello there, I am an aviation instructor holding airframe and powerplant license. There are a few paths to becoming a mechanic in aviation one way to do this is to attend a part 147 school and get your license. Another way would be military service and work on their aircraft. You could also go to local airports and ask around for who is looking for an apprentice. To get into this industry as a mechanic you need to hold your airframe and powerplant license as nobody typically hires without it.

Austin recommends the following next steps:

I would suggest looking into Title 14 which is federal aviation regulations. Part 65 for mechanics
Decide whether you want to apprentice to get your experience or if you want to go into school.
