FAA FAA Airman and Aviation Certificates License: Complete Roadmap
Follow this path to maximize your chances of passing on the first try
Lock In Your Eligibility Path
Confirm whether you are testing through AMTS graduation, experience, or the JSAMTCC military route before you build your schedule.
Master General FirstYou are here
Rebuild electricity, math, drawings, weight and balance, records, inspections, and safety fundamentals that feed the other two tests.
Separate Airframe From Powerplant
Study structures and aircraft systems independently from engine theory and engine systems so troubleshooting logic stays clean.
Run Mixed Troubleshooting Sets
Practice scenario questions that require the safest next maintenance action, correct records handling, and system-level reasoning.
Finish With Timed Multi-Test Review
Use timed blocks that simulate switching between General, Airframe, and Powerplant expectations before scheduling with PSI.
