Obtaining your Authorization slips . . .
|
You must visit your local FAA office and present documentation showing that you meet the requirements stated in FAR 65.71 and FAR 65.77. A few of the types of documentation that you may use are as follows:
|
l A letter stating that you meet the experience requirements of FAR 65.77, signed by a licensed mechanic that has observed your experience, describing both the work performed, and the appropriate dates for the work described. The more details the better.
|
l Military Records, both In-Service Training Records and Discharge Papers (DD 214), as well as a letter from your Supervisor or Aircraft Maintenance Officer, stating that you have at least 18 months of airframe or powerplant mechanic experience to qualify for either the Airframe or Powerplant license, or 30 months experience performing airframe and powerplant tasks concurrently (as in the case of most Crew Chiefs, or Plane Captains), to qualify for both the Airframe and Powerplant License. Again the more details the better.
|
l A previous FAA computer exam grade slip, if test score has expired or if the exam was failed.
