Another Mechanic Certificate Issued

A few days ago, on the shortest daylight day of the year, I finished administering Andy Porter's FAA Oral & Practical Mechanic exams.  Andy and I began the testing process on December 20th.  He answered 176 oral questions without access to any reference material.  Following the oral questions, Andy completed practical projects covering all 44 subject areas in the general, airframe, and powerplant exams.  It was a pretty intense ten and a half hours of testing, and Andy came through with flying colors.  Andy completed MMS Aviation's aircraft mechanic apprenticeship earlier this month and, being from England, actually came through the exam with flying colours.)

Andy accepts his temporary FAA aircraft mechanic certificate, December 21, 2011.  (Upon reviewing the paperwork I submit, the FAA issues the permanent certificate.)
