What is an A&P Tech?

A&P Techs, or Airframe and Powerplant Technicians, are skilled professionals certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to inspect, maintain, and repair aircraft. They are responsible for ensuring that aircraft meet safety standards by performing routine checks and troubleshooting issues related to airframes (the aircraft's body) and powerplants (the engines). A&P Techs play a crucial role in the aviation industry, working for airlines, maintenance facilities, or private companies to keep aircraft operating safely and efficiently.
