I am a pilot and let me tell you Ipads are a life saver i bought one only for the purpose of flight planning which means i have aeronautical charts on there it gives me my weather reports and for pilots who fly small planes with out sophisticated navigation instruments it can be used as an FAA approved GPS. it is making the flying world a whole lot safer and could even be used for primary flight controls.

Nice, helicopter mechanic sounds much more difficult than standard mechanics.

FAA requires you use the maintenance manual and its just a big picture book a 5 year old could do it

you can make really good money as well just be compitent with tools and general mechanics

I'm already pretty good with general mechanics, but thus far it has only been used to avoid paying a small fortune for car tune ups/repairs.

thats how i started small aircraft engines are just like aircooled beetle engines get yourself one and familiarize yourself thats what i did and jets are just turbo chargers so maybe find yourself a junk yard turbo you can turn them into jet engines fairley easily plus its just fun

theres a lot of community colleges or technical schools that get you certified for fairly cheap you will need an airframe and powerplant certificate good luck

Very true, I just want to finish getting my associate degree first, plus I'm already certified as an EMT, so I should get more options than most once i join.

I'm not sure what branch I'll go into yet, probably see which options I like most after taking the test.

Take it from someone who was in the Corps and Navy. Go army, unless you have a wild streak.

Oh god I can see the apple propaganda now... "Fly you plane with an iPad!" Until the app crashes and everyone dies

ipads will never have control over a plane but to be used as GPS the FAA requires an antenna be mounted to the outside of the plane to keep it from losing service
