What's the reccomended reading for A&P?
I heard of the Jeppesen books, any others or is Jeppesen's the best?

Reading for the A&P....?

You don't need to read for the A&P, you just memorise the questions and answers the same way as you do if it was an EASA Part 66 exam.....

Memorise questions & answers & no study? Would I do that...?

Apparently the ASA training books to go along with the ASA question and answer books are fairly good. I have seen a few A&P study packs with the ASA stuff but it doesn't seem as common as the Jeppesen material. I am looking for the ASA package myself but I have only seem them on AMTbookstore and would have to be shipped from the States. I have not found a retailer for them in the UK.

I have also borrowed the Jeppensen books off of a friend to see what they are like and they seem fairly comprehensive for the A&P but considering ASA released the question books, I will probably hunt around until I can find their training material. Good for future reference I guess?!

Just buy or borrow the question and answer books. In these books they give you the questions and answers, beside each answer they give you the reference, presumably for anybody who doubts them and wants to verify the answers for themselves, in my case I just took their word for it and if they said the answer was (b), I dutifully marked (b)....

All the reading material is on the FAA website here....

One of my colleagues downloaded them, printed them and arranged them in folders but to my knowledge nobody even looked at it, we all did our A&P using the tried and trusted 'monkey see, monkey do' method with 100% success rate.....

What about the practical/oral exam?

[Billy No Mates]

The school will coach....er I mean train you to be familiar with every scenario you're likely to encounter in the practical part of the exam, likewise they'll (probably) provide you with a set of study questions which will be of such remarkable similarity to the questions you'll be asked in the oral that you'll think they must have been written by Derren Brown himself.....

Its just like being at an EASA Part 147 school but without the pretence.....

Any recommendation on any schools around LAX area?

The link above is for AC43.

The above link is better, but of course I believe AC43 is also a must read. The above 3 books look like the Jeppesen books, anyone can confirm?
Also, any idea why FAA has made the General handbook obsolete (but still available for download)
