He is in the coastguard. They have to be certified to work on airplanes. FAA is fed aviation admin. I think.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes I have my A&P, but I got certified as a welder when I was in the USMC. I went to NADEP in Cherry Point N.C.and got FAA certified as a welder. I am certified in Steel, stainless steel, inconel, hastelloy,aluminum, etc. Arc, Mig, Tig ,Oxy fuel and silver brazing. I worked for about a year between services for Wall Colmonoy in OKC fabricating aviation exhaust systems and heat exchangers. Any FAA welder is required to be certified thru the FAA.

Thanks for sharing that!

That is very interesting. I have been in Aviation for 26+ years and didn't realize that the FAA certified welders. I need to do me some more reading. Do you recall what FAR they are certified under?

i am certified by the Military and recignized by the FAA. I will look at my certification so se if the Fed air Reg number is listed on it.

Oh I see. I don't see anything under the FAR's so it must be a military cert you have. I am sure the FAA recognizes certain certifications like you have for the repair of exhaust systems or their manufacture.

My certification allowed me to work for a civilain company when I was a civilain as a aviation welder. it is recognized in all 50 states. i will find them next tiem I am in my locker. I am sure it is somehomw attached to a FAR.
