In order to take such tests as the Air Frame and/or Air Power Tests,
Parachute Riggers Examination, Pilots, Examination, and other
Mechanics Tests
for licensing through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DANTES
has now been commissioned to provide such tests. Check with your Education
Counselor at the Fort Bragg/Pope AFB Education Center before taking the tests.
Taking the tests
through DANTES will save you considerable money. The Veterans Administration
will pay for active duty soldiers with GI Educational benefits the costs
of the tests. Check with the Fort Bragg/Pope AFB Education Center and
in order
to find out more about the VA paying for your certification tests, press

Those soldiers wishing to take the tests should call the Duty Officer at Flight Standards:
Authorization can
be provided at the following times and places in the Fort Bragg/Pope AFB
area.
Note: Remember that you can gain authorization 5 days a week in Greensboro.
Authorization will permit you to take three written tests which are
required for the Air Frame and Airpower License. As of July 19 2001, each
written test can be taken for $70.00 each ($210.00 for all three tests) at
Cape Fear Aviation. Dale Smith of Cape Fear Aviation can provide information
about taking the oral examination in Clinton and other locales or
press here to find the
Mechanic Examiners who should be able to administer your oral test. The time
limit on the written test for the A & P License is 2 hours for each test.
Any failed written test can be retaken once without charge to the soldiers.
There will be a charge if a soldier fails the test more than once. Check with
Cape Fear Aviation for any rate changes. Normal hours
for Cape Fear Aviation are from 0800 to 1700. Testing can be arranged at
other times by calling Cape Fear Aviation at (910) 483-4114. Cape Fear
