Country:  | Yes same here, I still have all my study guides for my A&P as well as all my mechanics handbooks and manuals. Ill be glad to help pD.
As for the 4 years to study being a long time. It is not if you love the field. I worked as a mechanic on helicopters for 4 years before I got my A&P liscense and I am back to college now again with Embry Riddle to get a Professional Aeronautics Degree. With the classes I took with my other degree and my A&P aswell as the credits the Embry Riddle gave me for my Army Mechanics time I only have to study for another 2 years approximatly though.

Country:  | Thanks lads. It'll be of great help. I have some of my dad's old note books from 36 years ago. Electric is still electric, and the laws of physics ain't changed.

When I studied the electricity chapter in science in Secondary 5, he helped me with all those equations. It turned out that the equations we used were not the same as he used.
It can be a small matter, but when you're already f*cked up, you don't need more equations to f*ck you up more. | |

Country: | When I start asking for things, you'll probably remember even more stuff, Clave. My dad seems to have forgotten a lot but when certain words, or the right questions are asked he's throwing everything at me ... yes, even the kitchen sink.

Country: | Hmmm...Maybe a career change is in order for me here. I used to fix boards and circuits down to component level. I used to love trace chasing with the schematics and an o-scope. But then, what I worked on was terminals, printers and mainframe boards, nothing critical like aircraft systems. Mess that up, someone could die.

Country: | Or in my case, being a civil technician, several hundred could die. But I want the satisfaction of seeing that plane rising from the runway and knowing I was the one that let it fly.
