My FAA A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) certification.

After 18 months of a lot of dedication, sacrifice, discipline, focus and study, I complete the entire process of obtaining my FAA A&P (Airframe and Powerplant) certification.

This was the most difficult and challenging certification of my life.

There were several sleepless nights, refused invitations, trips left aside, months without visiting family, high financial investment and hundreds of hours of study.

Far beyond the technical part, this certification matured and developed me personally (and I have no doubt that this was the biggest gain of all).

Thanks to directing my studies towards this certification, many opportunities arose within these 18 months, such as: courses abroad, international missions and, the largest, approval in selection processes of two large multinational companies, one of which I chose and am happy to be part of today.

As I often repeat, no one gets far alone. Having connected with the right people exponentially accelerated my results.

So I want to thank my great English teacher, Guilherme Previati, who was the first to take this challenge with me in May 2024. (If you're looking for someone to unlock your conversation and take your English to the next level in a light and relaxed way, this is undoubtedly the guy who can help you).

I also thank Rodrigo Oliveira da Costa, Fábio Túlio TerrasAnderson Moraes, German Alonso and many others who supported me throughout this process.

And if you are in this process, contact me and I will make a point of clarifying and helping you in any way possible.

I am grateful for another opportunity.

Michael Firmo
