CAAP AMT Knowledge Exam Study Tips from Top Performers

1Memorize PCAR Part 2 AMT eligibility, ratings (Airframe / Powerplant / A&P), privileges and limitations, and the 24-month window to finish prescribed tests.
2Drill Ohm's law, series/parallel resistance, and unit conversions early — natural-science items support engineering and electrical questions.
3Study airframe structures, hydraulic/pneumatic fundamentals, reciprocating and turbine engine basics, and propellers as separate topic banks matching §2.6.2.5.
4Practice identifying correct maintenance-data sources (manufacturer manuals, ADs, PCARs) rather than relying on memory for torque or limits.
5Review human-performance and TEM concepts with maintenance-error examples (fatigue, pressure, poor communication) because §2.6.2.4 explicitly tests this area.
