<H5>I have been told that one way to gain experience, at least to meet the FAA requirements is to con my way into a part time apprentice job...in looking through the regs 65.77 I had some questions...
</H5>
§ 65.77 Experience requirements.
Each applicant for a mechanic certificate or rating must present either an appropriate graduation certificate or certificate of completion from a certificated aviation maintenance technician school or documentary evidence, satisfactory to the Administrator, of—
(a) At least 18 months of practical experience with the procedures, practices, materials, tools, machine tools, and equipment generally used in constructing, maintaining, or altering airframes, or powerplants appropriate to the rating sought; or
(b) At least 30 months of practical experience concurrently performing the duties appropriate to both the airframe and powerplant ratings.
When it says "18 months" does that mean 18 months full time? Would spending 20 hours a week helping out as an apprentice count? Would that be "satisfactory to the Administrator"??
