What are the requirements for obtaining the FAA Airframe and Powerplant certificates?
A. There are two ways to obtain an FAA Airframe and Powerplant Certificate: meet the minimum FAA work experience requirements (see the FAA website or contact your local FAA office for details); OR, attend an FAA approved school. In an FAA approved school, students must complete a specific number of hours in the General, Airframe, and Powerplant subject areas, as required by the FAA. In addition, there are required lecture topics and lab projects which must be completed. The required lecture topics and lab projects can normally be completed within the prescribed FAA hour requirements.
