    Does not apply to Experimental

      An experimental aircraft still needs an annual condition inspection by an A&P, to continue flying legally.

    What A great tribute and Thank I am the president of Round Engine Aero. A friend and fellow vendor from EAA made this sign for us. At our shop our guys wear T shirts with this on the back. We truly believe that the only reason planes are in the Air , is because Mechanics put them there. Safe skies my friends!

    And that’s why a lot of pilots get their A&P cert. !

    Or, fly an experimental and get a Repairman Cert.
