About this episode
In this episode of Aviators Mentors Podcast, Richard Fornaca shares his experience working as an A&P Mechanic and an Inspection Authorization (IA) Mechanic. He shares his story of how he went from being someone who's in love with aviation and looking to becoming a pilot, to actually going ahead and acquiring the skills that would make him an Aviation Maintenance Technician.
At the end of the interview, we hope to give you some great advice on how you could start flying and follow the path of an A&P Mechanic!
