I studied CAR's for the AME (latest edition) and I went to a website (www.aerotraining.com). They had a bunch of practice exams. They were hard and didn't provide the answers to the questions but really forced me to get into the CARS online to find the answers. Cheers.

Thanx Ian, as always I get a lot of great insight!

This is the first time I've read this particular forum and I must say it is eyeopening.

An engineer that is one of the leads is trying to get me back but there are some politics involved. I don't want to bash anybody here on this site but there are a couple guys working there that ...

Hey guys I really appreciate the help so far! Like a lot of you guys I love aviation but I've learned that the more I learn about aviation the more I realise how little I know lol. Perhaps that kind of humility will help me out. As I said before, nothing here in Belleville and next to impossible to ...
