I was going to school for it, finished the general, but have the airframe and powerplant to finish. Has anyone in a similar situation done something like this? Many years ago, I purchased an antique Cessna that I would like to fly one day, I have dreams of taking my young kids up in it.
I would recommend the apprentice route. That’s how I earned my maintenance certification. It took just under six years but I had the flexibility to make it work around my full time job.
I think if you tried to the school path you may find yourself missing to many days in class.
