I am planning to start a.... erm.... "small planes mechanics technician"
course (sorry that my english is so approximative)

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


I have to say that until last monday, I would never have dared to dream
of it. I have been a zoo keeper, a developer... now I am 34 and have
this opportunity.

Zookeeper will fit in just fine around here :-)


Would you be kind to give me good links please?

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/air...13/default.htm
AC 43.13-1B ACCEPTABLE METHODS, TECHNIQUES, AND PRACTICES - AIRCRAFT
INSPECTION AND REPAIR

http://www.faa.gov/certification/air...ce/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

one year, or so, learning a job that already excites me quite a lot.

Still, as I would never have only hoped so, I have to confess I did not
get involved in any way, nor only interested, in this issue.

But now, in order to apply, I have to prepare myself to the preliminary
exams, so, I wished to find information about all this. Simples things
that a newbie may understand, kind of a first step information.

Would you be kind to give me good links please?

Many thanks

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

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

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