very good info mark! had a look at all the threads related and learned a great deal as always. thanks for including the click noise while the relay was in the AC too.

It's great that you put your thought process here and not just the fault and corrective action. Thanks for all the info mark!

That's awesome! I will for sure throw some technical questions at ya when i have em. I'm hoping for the FedEx apprentice program to open up at EWR, sounds like a good path.

Thanks for that! I can't wait to enter the field once the covid stuff is over with.

What does your career look like in terms of companies you've worked for since you got out of school to now?

I'm sure you've heard the term "licensed to learn". No one expects a fresh A&P to step in and be self sufficient right off the bat. You become competent over time, but you "never" stop learning

Things like daily check items, tires, brakes, and fluid servicing come pretty quick. Others like component replacements, rigging, and troubleshooting are not required on a daily basis, so skill sets take longer to obtain.

Most major airlines have some sort of apprenticeship programs. Maybe some FBO's also. If you end up working corporate or piston-poppers, you'll probably find experienced mechanics who will be more than happy to teach you.

It's in everyone's best interest to pass along knowledge to the next generation coming in.

I was a "young buck" once. The old farts taught me.

Guess what???? I'm the old fart now. This site was built to pass along whatever I have learned to others.
