ACP413 Become an aviation mechanic for less than 60k.
Aircraft fleets are growing and the number of hours flown keeps increasing. To fly these airplanes we need more mechanics both now and in the future. The prospects are good for an annual growth rate of 5% per year according to government statistics. Joining me today is an aircraft mechanic who helps mechanics reach their career goals. Mark Joy is a certificated A & P mechanic with over 15 years of experience. Mark has a specialized background in avionics and drone research and development. To top it off, Mark is also a private pilot. Mark also believes that you don’t need to spend tons of money to become a mechanic and explains why in this episode. Questions [email protected]? Send us your accomplishments and a photo if you want us to share in the podcast on YouTube to [email protected] Talking Points: Why Mark loves being a mechanic. I find fulfillment in making things “work” again I have ADHD and have found that there is something about doing hands-on work that gets me into the deep “flow” state I enjoy solving hard problems What type of job opportunities for mechanics? Manufacturers Airlines Line Mx Hangar Mx General Aviation Contracting For civilian businesses For the military/government Drones Drone delivery services Google Wing Zipline Mana Amazon (under construction) Drone manufacturing & repair Consumer Military & Government use Data collection Space (rockets, satellites, etc) Specializations within any of these: Structures (sheet metal, composites) NDT Avionics Powerplants Manufacturing/Assembly QA R&D You can also work outside the aviation sector: Amusement parks Renewable energy (wind turbines, solar, etc) Railroads Other manufacturing Many other hands-on skilled trades What the future of mechanic hiring looks like Per Bureau of Labor Projection Stats thru 2033: 5% growth total (same as all other occupations) 8% for avionics 5% for other Mx, repair, and service ~13,400 job openings per year Due to folks retiring or leaving for other fields Growth in pax travel and shipping demand May also see an uptick in space travel Why you don’t need to spend a ton of money on getting your mechanic certification. Employers know that if you are a new A&P, you’re going to need some level of job-specific training anyway You have your A&P, or you don’t. How much you spent doesn’t really matter to employers. A&P is generally accepted in aviation as a “license to learn” If you already have the required experience, there is no FAA requirement to spend any money on a PT147 school if you don’t want to - you just need to prepare for the tests and pass them. What are some of the misperceptions most have about being a mechanic? If they’ve never picked up a wrench, you can’t do this job They won’t be able to pass the tests They won’t make very much money 2023 wages: Top 10%: $115k Median: $75k Bottom 10%: $45k or less How can we reach Mark?

ACP409 $1000 Flight Hour

ACP409 $1000 Flight Hour
ACP409 $1,000 Per Flight Hour As An Airline Pilot? Can airline pilots make $1,000 per hour? Yes, but we need to understand the context of the question. After my last episode of “Understanding Pilot Pay https://youtu.be/n3KiUhPblKA , a conversation started about how pilots can get paid over $1,000 per hour. In this episode, I want to debunk any myths and make you understand the context of how pilots, including myself, make over $1,000 PER FLIGHT HOUR. Send us your accomplishments and a photo if you want us to share in the podcast on YouTube to [email protected] Talking Points Understanding the context of the question. Pilots on the internet will divide their annual pay by the number of hours flown. For example, a captain at a major airline making 300,000 a year who only flies 250 hours in the year makes $1,200 per flight hour. This may be misleading but is also true. Let’s discover how. Watch this video. Watch How To Make A Million A Year As An Airline Pilot - https://youtu.be/o2YBK-20AMU Understand pilots get paid a minimum even if not flying. For example Narrow body captain at a major making $320 an hour. 70 hour guarantee on reserved Flew 20 hours in the month 240 per year x $320 = $268,800 $268,800/240 hours in a year = $1,120 PER FLIGHT HOUR This example includes deadheading when in the plane in uniform. Why it is important to look at work rules and not only pay rate. How many people are claiming that they make $1,000 per hour as an airline pilot but really what they are saying is PER FLIGHT HOUR. With that said it really is a good job and you can have a wonderful lifestyle as I discussed in this video: How To Have An Amazing Quality Of Life As An Airline Pilot https://youtu.be/JoUKcc3lZDA Links: Monthly Group Coaching Mentorship https://valeri-aviation.thinkific.com/courses/group-career-coaching Questions: Questions please visit us: https://www.aviationcareerspodcast.com/contact/ Sponsor: The sponsor of this is Stratus Financial, Private Student Lending - For Pilots, By Pilots.

Pilot pay especially at the airlines is foreign to most workers and can be best summed in a question. How can a pilot making $30 per hour only make $30,000 a year? I will explain this and more in this video. Send us your accomplishments and a photo if you want us to share in the podcast on YouTube to [email protected] Talking Points How are pilots paid?

ACP407 AI And Pilot Jobs

ACP407 AI And Pilot Jobs
Will AI Replace Pilot Jobs? That is a question I get often and is one I have a keen interest in because I started my career studying AI in the 80’s. I don’t think so and here is why. Send us your accomplishments and a photo if you want us to share in the podcast on YouTube to [email protected] Talking Points What Is Artificial Intelligence and how does it apply to aviation? Technology that allows computers and machines to mimic human comprehension, problem-solving, learning, autonomy, and creativity. An example is what I studied, voice recognition. How it has affected pilot jobs already. https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilsahota/2024/03/29/navigating-the-skies-with-ai-how-airlines-are-transforming-air-travel/ More efficient routing and safer routing to include turbulence avoidance. Maintenance and performance data No flight engineer is needed. Remember when 737 came out and they had no flight engineer? Fun fact: United kept the flight engineer position during the transition. Reduced fatigue Autonomous flying. More efficient flying without pilot input. The future of pilot hiring and AI. Will AI replace pilots? The real question is will AI replace humans? No, but it will make our lives safer and easier. Think of Autopilot, and Autoland uses aspects of AI. AI will Augment the human process and help us focus on more complex tasks. Again think about Flight Engineer. What jobs should I look toward in Aviation To Take Advantage of AI hiring?

Where do I find the link to download the scholarship PDF file to my iPad? - https://macmost.com/how-to-work-with-pdfs-on-an-iphone-or-ipad.html Does the score on my written exam matter? I’m interested in becoming a pilot and found a few aviation programs, including flight school. I have no flight experience or even stepped foot inside a plane besides riding a helicopter once in 2010. If I don’t get to become an airline pilot when I reach the requirements then I’m willing to do cargo planes until I get into airline. Would a personal bankruptcy (about 1yr closed) affect getting hired (or a clearance) by an airline?---I will try to finish my 1500 hours before 2025 Non-Compete Clauses - Just sign John Doe. It “voids” the contract. They never checked the name. Remember lying and inaccuracies can get you fired even years later. So I went down to my AME for the first class medical I was told I have amblyopia for those that don’t know what that is means my eyes don’t fuse the AME had me take the paperwork to an eye doctor and have them fill out. I passed everything without glasses. Just couldn’t see the 3D bugs. Ame called two different people at the headquarters and told me he had to defer me. Iv been waiting over 60 days now with no letters nothing. Is it ok to call and ask or will they see it as a bad thing also the ame said I might have to take a flight test. Is anyone able to tell me what they are looking for with this flight test? Iv looked all over YouTube and have found nothing. Do they have stuff for ppl with one eye or is it the same test? This channel is a must-subscribe for me lol. Did 15 years in the US Navy. Got out and used my G.I. Bill to get through flight school. Flying is literally on my mind 24/7. Did 15 years in a career that I didn’t want to do and now I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to choose and man do I believe I’ve chosen wisely I can’t Thank you enough for this channel! Current $250+/hr to train with a flight instructor. My BFR just cost me $1300. The pilot shortage is nothing more than a nasty joke meant to blow smoke up the *** of the few suckers whose parents can still afford this. I just wanted to become a CFI and I see no path forward.

Brown of the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas has struck down the Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) enactment of a new Rule on September 4, 2024, which would have effectively resulted in a nationwide ban on nearly all current and future employee non-competition agreements (with limited exceptions). On Tuesday, August 20, 2024, the Texas District Court entered a 27-page sweeping decision to preserve the status quo of applicable law before FTC’s adoption of the Rule. Therefore, the Texas court’s decision leaves the 50-state landscape of state statutes, court decisions, and state regulations permitting or rejecting enforcement of non-competes in place. How does it affect me? Does this mean I am off the hook for all the bonus money I received? Advice moving forward when reviewing Non-Compete Clauses. Take Care of yourself and your family first.

To find out more visit https://stratus.finance Cruise Flight: Question From A Viewer: What If I Lied On My FAA Medical Application? Correcting errors on your medical application No formal process but updates are accepted and processed Generally, no prosecution for falsifying if correct before the FAA discovers. Good Ideas For Time Building. PIC in the system. Multi-engine SIC or PIC. Flight Instruction Instrument Instruction is preferred since this correlates well with the airlines. Cargo flying for a reputable operator. Time building with another pilot. Some hours may be logged as a safety pilot. Question from viewer: Do the airlines respect flight time as a safety pilot? I have quite a bit of safety pilot time. I know it’s all legal PIC time under 61.51 (e) and 91.109 (b)(c) but I don’t want to get looked at differently by a potential employer because I wasn’t necessarily the sole manipulator of the controls for every single hour of PIC time. Bad Ideas for Time Building Illegal Charters FAA revocation, no insurance Private planes that become illegal charters pilots can still lose certificates. Question from YouTube: In the last video you talk about if it’s not the owner it falls under that 135/121 veil. What about business-owned aircraft flying its associates but the official owner is not aboard the aircraft? Aircraft Partnerships that become illegal charters Right seat but not SIC Time Know what you can log. Aircraft doesn’t require pic. Professional pilot development.

While the skills you acquire may not transfer directly to general or corporate aviation, leading to a learning curve when you transition out of the military, you will emerge as a much more well-rounded individual. You can use the foundational skills learned to further expand your knowledge and abilities. Why James loves his job. I believe I have the best job in America. I have the unique opportunity to earn my income solely from aviation. In the evenings, I fly the KC-135 for the military. During the day, I manage an aircraft maintenance shop alongside 10 of the finest aviation professionals I’ve encountered in my career. Every day, I have the privilege of both flying and repairing airplanes. I actively seek opportunities to improve the aviation industry and encourage others to join this remarkable community. Additionally, I’m able to pass on the skills and lessons I’ve acquired to our customers and other community members, helping to elevate us all. It truly is the realization of a dream, and I cannot envision my life any other way. What you can do to better prepare to become an aircraft mechanic and what steps you can take today? There are numerous opportunities and pathways to become an aircraft mechanic or join the aviation community. Some of the most popular options for getting started right away include A. Joining the National Guard or active military duty, which can provide immediate entry into the field. B. Enrolling in a two-year program to earn your aircraft mechanic’s license. C. Finding a local shop that offers apprenticeship programs. Unfortunately, the journey to becoming a mechanic is longer than that of becoming a pilot. While aspiring pilots can quickly advance by paying for their ratings, there’s no shortcut for mechanics. You’ll need to complete a two-year program or spend roughly three years as an apprentice to gain the necessary experience for your mechanic’s rating. I believe the best initial step is to attend an air show. Keeping up with local events is an excellent way to immerse yourself in aviation and experience the field firsthand.
