The Ghana AME licensing pathway is governed by GCAA Part 2. It covers Air Law and Airworthiness, Natural Science and Aircraft General Knowledge, Aircraft Engineering, Aircraft Maintenance, Human Performance and Limitations, and separate Airframe, Powerplant, or Avionics rating syllabi. The reviewed directive gives a five-year licence validity but does not publish one universal question count, time limit, subject percentage, or pass mark. This bank provides 140 practice questions across those areas.

Sample GCAA Ghana AME Exam Practice Questions

1A sheet metal repair requires adding three reinforcement plates with thicknesses of 1/16 inch, 3/32 inch, and 1/8 inch. What is the total thickness of these plates combined?
A.7/32 inch
B.5/16 inch
C.1/4 inch
D.9/32 inch
Explanation: To find the total thickness, convert all fractions to a common denominator of 32: 1/16 = 2/32, 3/32 = 3/32, and 1/8 = 4/32. Adding them gives 2/32 + 3/32 + 4/32 = 9/32 inch.
2The lift equation is given by L = 1/2 * rho * V^2 * S * CL. Transpose this equation to solve for the velocity (V).
A.V = sqrt( L * rho * S * CL )
B.V = sqrt( (L) / (2 * rho * S * CL) )
C.V = sqrt( (2 * L) / (rho * S * CL) )
D.V = (2 * L) / (rho * S * CL)
Explanation: First multiply both sides by 2 to get 2L = rho * V^2 * S * CL. Next, divide both sides by (rho * S * CL) to get V^2 = (2L) / (rho * S * CL). Finally, take the square root of both sides: V = sqrt( (2L) / (rho * S * CL) ).
3Calculate the area of a trapezoidal wing section with a root chord of 3.2 meters, a tip chord of 1.8 meters, and a semi-span (height) of 6.5 meters.
A.32.50 square meters
B.10.40 square meters
C.20.80 square meters
D.16.25 square meters
Explanation: The area of a trapezoid is A = ((a + b) / 2) * h. For a semi-span wing section: A = ((3.2 + 1.8) / 2) * 6.5 = (5.0 / 2) * 6.5 = 2.5 * 6.5 = 16.25 square meters.
4An accessory gearbox drive gear has 36 teeth and drives a hydraulic pump gear with 12 teeth. If the drive gear rotates at 3,000 RPM, what is the speed of the hydraulic pump gear?
A.1,000 RPM
B.36,000 RPM
C.9,000 RPM
D.6,000 RPM
Explanation: The gear ratio is Drive Teeth / Driven Teeth = 36 / 12 = 3. Because the driven gear is smaller, it rotates faster. Speed of driven gear = Drive RPM * Gear Ratio = 3,000 * 3 = 9,000 RPM.
5A technician shears a sheet of aluminum alloy measuring 1.2 square meters. If the scrap waste produced from cutting out templates measures 0.18 square meters, what percentage of the sheet was wasted?
A.18%
B.12%
C.20%
D.15%
Explanation: Percentage waste is calculated as (Waste Area / Total Area) * 100 = (0.18 / 1.2) * 100 = 0.15 * 100 = 15%.
6A structural brace strut forms a right-angled triangle with the fuselage skin. If the horizontal run of the strut is 40 cm and the vertical rise is 30 cm, what is the length of the brace strut?
A.70 cm
B.60 cm
C.10 cm
D.50 cm
Explanation: Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), the length of the brace strut (hypotenuse) is c = sqrt(30^2 + 40^2) = sqrt(900 + 1600) = sqrt(2500) = 50 cm.
7What is the decimal equivalent of the six-bit binary configuration value 101101?
A.37
B.29
C.45
D.53
Explanation: Converting 101101 to decimal involves summing the values of the powers of 2 for positions where a '1' is present: (1 * 2^5) + (0 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^2) + (0 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0) = 32 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 45.
8A cylindrical hydraulic accumulator has a piston diameter of 10 cm and a stroke length of 24 cm. What is the internal volume of the accumulator cylinder? (Use pi = 3.1416)
A.7,539.84 cubic cm
B.753.98 cubic cm
C.1,884.96 cubic cm
D.3,769.91 cubic cm
Explanation: The radius of the cylinder is diameter / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5 cm. The volume of a cylinder is V = pi * r^2 * h = 3.1416 * 5^2 * 24 = 3.1416 * 25 * 24 = 3.1416 * 600 = 1,884.96 cubic cm.
9If an aircraft cabin noise level increases from 80 dB to 86 dB, what is the approximate ratio increase in sound power level?
A.4.0 times
B.6.0 times
C.2.0 times
D.1.5 times
Explanation: In acoustics, an increase of 3 dB represents a doubling of the sound power. An increase of 6 dB (80 to 86 dB) represents two 3 dB doublings, which is 2 * 2 = 4 times the original sound power level.
10An avionics test set measures a capacitor value of 0.0000047 Farads. Express this capacitance value in standard scientific notation.
A.47 * 10^-7 F
B.0.47 * 10^-5 F
C.4.7 * 10^-6 F
D.4.7 * 10^-5 F
Explanation: To express 0.0000047 in scientific notation, move the decimal point 6 places to the right to obtain 4.7. This corresponds to multiplying by 10^-6. Hence, the value is 4.7 * 10^-6 F (or 4.7 microfarads).

About the GCAA Ghana AME Exam Exam

GCAA Part 2 sets the knowledge, experience, skill, medical, and rating requirements for a Ghana Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licence. Applicants are examined in five general knowledge areas and in subjects appropriate to the Airframe, Powerplant, or Avionics rating sought. Licence privileges depend on the ratings and authorisations held; passing knowledge examinations alone does not confer unrestricted release-to-service privileges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What regulations govern the GCAA AME Licence in Ghana?

The licence is governed by the current GCAA Flight Standards Directive Part 2—Personnel Licensing, together with applicable Ghana civil-aviation legislation and airworthiness directives. The reviewed Part 2 text contains its own AME knowledge syllabi.

What are the GCAA AME exam question count, duration, and pass mark?

The reviewed GCAA Part 2 directive defines the required knowledge areas but does not publish one universal question count, time limit, or pass mark. Confirm current examination logistics directly with GCAA Personnel Licensing rather than applying EASA Part-66 figures by analogy.

Are there practical experience requirements for the GCAA AME Licence?

Yes. In addition to knowledge and skill requirements, Part 2 requires practical aircraft-maintenance experience appropriate to the licence and rating. The qualifying duration varies by training and technical-background pathway, so applicants should map their own records to the current Part 2 provisions.

How do I apply for the GCAA AME exams in Ghana?

Use the current instructions and forms provided by GCAA Personnel Licensing. Confirm the required application, identity, experience, training, medical, rating, fee, and examination documents before submitting.
