Thanks all. I've just found a little time inbetween studying to get back on here. Good to see most are still here... and Trackend...you'd been long missed the last time I managed to get on here, so it's good to see you back!
Airframes... I'm at Manchester Airport... the college I have to attend is Deeside (Connah's Quay) which is a certified Aero training facility... and there is BAe at...Warton, near Blackpool...all within 50 miles or so. Deeside is 44 miles away....
It is similar to the A P license, Matt. The European system is basically -
A license (Mechanically bias) Mechanic - so engines and airframes, cannot sign aircraft to fly. Split down into A1, A2, A3, A4 (1. Airplane/Turbine, 2. Airplane/Piston, 3. Helicopter/Turbine, 4. Helicopter/Piston)
B1 License (Mechanical and Electrical) which is engines 'n aiframes , and you can sign an aircraft to service in line maintenance and zonal signature in base. Split once again to the same subs as A
B2 license (Avionic and Electrical) which is...what it says; avionics. Basically same thing as B1..you can sign aircraft to service, but you specialise in a different area.
C license (Maintenance Manager) signs return to service cert. in base maintenance.
Don't pretend you didn't fu*kin' miss me, Dan.
