As it turns out, if I am to be able to go anywhere with my latest career move, I will need to obtain an A&P or Airframe and Powerplant license from the FAA.
Or at least the "A" part, for sure.
That would mean a sizable increase in pay, some degree of added security and doing work more interesting than what I am doing now.
It also means that I'm going to be a bit busy for the next 18 months or so.
I'll check on the status of ORR.net everyday like a good little admin, but as far as a lot of posts from me, likely not as much as usual. Just in case you're wondering where I'm at.
Wish me luck. At 55 years I ain't doing this for sport.
