Found out the FAA only requires 16 hours of documented training per year to keep your A&P, and I have been logging way more than that for nothing | Aircraft Mechanics - Thought Shares
Man that 16 hour thing is honestly kind of a joke when you think about it. Some guy could knock that out in two weekends of online courses and technically be "current" while someone like you is actually out there wrenching every day learning stuff that matters. The system rewards the bare minimum on paper, not the guys who actually stay sharp. I get that they don't wanna make it a pain for people, but 16 hours a year barely covers one real training class.
