Canadian AME getting an A&P and IA

Post by ybp »

I am living in Canada, but I have American Citizenship as well, and I am looking into getting my A&P and IA.

I have found lots on here about getting the A&P, (It seems like Prepware is the best way to go) but I haven't been able to find anything about getting IA. Prepware has a course for it, but does anyone know if there are any restrictions on a Canadian getting IA?

Thanks,

No problem getting it, you need your a&p for at least 3 years first, then do the IA coarse, and exams.

Maintaining it is a bit of a bitch though, you need to do 4 annuals or 8 major repairs every two years and subscribe to the gazette which I beleive is a 1000 bucks a year. I was just reading up on it...

Just got my A & P Licence in the states two weeks ago. Have the latest FARs in front of me. Please refer to the following regarding IA. Wouldn't mind referring anyone to the school where I picked mine up. Let me know. Lots of Canadian techs are getting their A & P. Cost outlay but worth it.
FAR 65.91 Inspection authorization.
FAR 65.92 Inspection authorization: Duration.
FAR 65.93 Inspection authorization: Renewal.
FAR 65.94 Inspection authorization: Privileges and Limitations.
Remember you must possess an A & P licence for three years before even thinking about an IA. Type in the code number above in your search engine and the exact wording will be in front of you. All the best.
