Yes A stands for Airframe license, which allows you to work on pretty much any part of the aircraft except the engine. The P license (used to be called E for engine) is power plant and allows you to work on the power plant. IA is an inspectors authorization. I also have a RII which is an inspectors license that allows me to inspect the work of others on aircraft above 12 passengers.
I can't wait to get a tractor . It will be nice to do my own maintenance and not have any paperwork or regulations to be concerned with. My fellows A&Ps know what I mean
Its kinda funny though I'm still anal about keeping a log of all maintenance performed and i do a walk around everytime i get on or off my tractor for the day.
I check my tractor in the morning, oil and such then run it. I also don't keep logs, but it is easy to keep up with. Every 25 hours I grease it, that is easy to follow without writing anything down. The oil changes and all are also easy to keep up with. Last thing I want when I am at home is paperwork.
