如何修炼成为有执照的机务？
Yes. You can get the required experience through civilian or military on-the-job training, or by attending a special school for aircraft mechanics.
老司机一路坎坷，哪有随随便便就能成仙的--合格的机务人员必须有民航（工作经验要求，我们会专门用一篇文章做详细说明，敬请期待）或者对应军航相关工作或培训经验--比如去FAA授权的航空维修机械师学习修满学分，顺利毕业，参加AP执照考试，通过后也可以成为持照机务
Do I have to take any tests to become a certified mechanic?
废话，拿执照必须得经历九九八十一难，要问渡劫何为，往下看
Yes. You have to take both oral and practical tests. There is a fee for the test. The oral and practical tests cover 43 technical subjects. Typically tests for one certificate--airframe or power plant--takes about 8 hours.
考试是必须的，口试实操形式的考试都要来一遍，局方为机务AP执照考试设置了 笔试加口试实操三种形式的考试模式，每个环节收费（关于具体收费明细-参考本文：关于AP执照考试费用-看这篇就够了）不一样；
口试实操必考内容覆盖Airframe,Powerplant和General三科共计43个知识点（General最少，Powerplant15个知识点对于中国机务来说是最难的），Airframe和Powerplant的口试实操考试都大约需要8小时左右（正常三科口试实操3-4天考完）！来源: FAA执照考试
