Hello fellow Kolb drivers....I an enrolled in a Fixed Wing Airplane 16 hr repairmen inspection class on March 20-21 in Dallas, Tx given by Rainbow Aviation. I was wondering if any of you has taken this class and what to expect....Do any of you have any advise about what I need to be prepared for? Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
I took this class with Mike Huffman. He is an excellent teacher. If you pay attention he stresses the points that will be on the test so if you take good notes (you can use your notes and books for the test) you can pass it. You probably already have the handouts/requirements for the class...he is good about emailing those to you ahead of time. There was one guy in my class of 6 or 7 that didn't pass but he seemed to be struggling with a lot of the concepts and didn't take any notes.
Mike has probably told you to review the AC 43-13B (here's the link in case you don't have it: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/99C827DB9BAAC81B86256B4500596C4E?OpenDocument&Highlight=ac%2043.13-1b ) You don't have to read everything. Open the contents document and find on the word "inspection" and review those chapters/sections. But like I said he will stress in the class the ones you need to know for the test.
I really liked the hands on practice toward the end of the class. Don't get hung up too long on one workstation so you can get around to all the workstations (some take longer than others).
Have fun and enjoy it!

I took that class. The instructors are excellent. Take lots of notes though. For some reason the binder they give you does not contain all the material they show you via the projector. Perhaps they don't want you to be able to give the entire course away to someone else who hasn't paid. I don't know why because you really are paying for the certificate not the knowledge.
I don't think you need to prepare for anything. They go over everything in the class you will need to pass the test. You may want to bring your airplane documentation with you, airworthiness, registration, weight and balance.

I thought the Carpenters were very good indeed... I won't dare to speak for Mr.
George T. Alexander, eminent member of this list, who sat next to me and managed to
keep me conscious for most of the class,
(and allowed me to copy from his final exam paper to prevent my total humiliation)
but I thought they were competent and skilled presenters. Time well spent.
