You're English is good. What is your native language?

Zookeeper will fit in just fine around here :-)

I have none for you, but wanted to say this - If you don't get any replies,
post again in a week or two. Those with good info for you might miss your
post, the first time around. Good luck.


> Many thanks :)

Hope it works out for you.

Bonjour Paf,

Here are some suggestions. I believe these documents are created to be
reference material and not intended to be used to learn, but they should
be helpful.

http://www.faa.gov/certification/aircraft/av-info/dst/43-13/default.htm
AC 43.13-1B ACCEPTABLE METHODS, TECHNIQUES, AND PRACTICES - AIRCRAFT
INSPECTION AND REPAIR

http://www.faa.gov/certification/aircraft/av-info/dst/ACreference/060-067.htm
Scroll down the page to get to AC 65-9A AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT
MECHANICS--GENERAL HANDBOOK

Of course this material is for the United States. I'm not sure what
requirements are shared between us. Maybe it will be easier for you
since many aviation terms are from the French.

Good luck,
Paul

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have to hope that the above was in fun. :-)

Should it be "your" or "you're" in this case?
