Greetings All,
It's been 10+ years since this was discussed as best I can tell. I'm curious if there has been any movement on the topic of using time amateur building an experimental airplane "under the supervision of an A&P" as apprenticeship credit toward the required hours to sit for the A&P exam with the FAA.
EAA has an article posted (link below) that it's possible to do this but a lot of discretion is left to the FAA to decide whether or not said experience counts.
Has anyone done this lately or know anyone that's had success going this route? I'd love to build/have an RV-8 and also have my A&P....this seems like a good way to get both in the same effort.
