I’m Nestor A. Cadena, a U.S. Air Force veteran, FAA-certified aircraft mechanic, and founder of AV8R School—a global aviation maintenance community built to help people enter the aviation industry and earn their FAA A&P certification, and grow in the field with FAA and EASA Certified Courses. With over 25 years of experience in military, corporate, and commercial aviation, I’ve worked on everything from business jets to large transport aircraft in real-world maintenance environments. AV8R School was created to do more than help people pass tests—it was built to open doors. As thousands of experienced technicians retire, the aviation industry urgently needs skilled mechanics. Our community connects aspiring and working technicians with proven A&P study systems, FAST TRACK guides (English & Spanish), mentorship, and advanced training opportunities. If you’re ready to build real skills and position yourself in one of the most in-demand industries in the world, this is where it starts.
