An 8610-2 the FSDO can't reject.
Five short modules. Five ready-to-use templates. A line-by-line walkthrough of the form that gets most guys turned away.
The FSDO turns people away for paperwork — not experience.
"77 FSDOs, 77 ways to interpret the rules." What clears one inspector fails the next.
Missing signatures. Vague duties.
"Assisted with maintenance" doesn't count. Neither does one supervisor signature covering years of work.
Gaps the ASI catches immediately.
Dates that don't match your maintenance records. Hand-written logs some FSDOs won't accept. Fixable — if you know what they're looking for.
Course 2 fixes it before you file. Every template, every signature block, every date field — built the way ASIs want to see it.
Learn what counts. Build your file. Walk in ready.
Three stages. Every step tied to FAA Order 8900.1.

Common questions.
Who is this for?
Civilian mechanics who've been turning wrenches under an A&P and need to prove that time to the FAA.
Will this get my experience approved by the FAA?
The FSDO makes that call — not us. What we do: make sure your paperwork is clean, complete, and put together the way ASIs want to see it. That's what stops most rejections.
Do I need a certain number of hours first?
No. This course teaches you how to log and prove your time. Whether you've hit the 18/30-month minimum yet is based on your actual work — Course 1 covers that.
What's the 8610-2?
The FAA form you fill out to get cleared to take the writtens. Module 4 walks through it line by line.
What if my paperwork was already rejected?
Common — and fixable. Module 5 shows you the reasons ASIs turn people away and how to fix them before your next appointment.
Is it self-paced?
Yes. Any device, any time. Templates are yours to keep.
