This document supersedes FAA-G-8082-3, Aviation</div><div>Mechanic General, Airframe, and Powerplant Knowledge Test Guide, dated 1999.</div><div>TEST NAME TEST CODE</div><div>Aviation Maintenance Technician—General AMG</div><div>Aviation Maintenance Technician—Airframe AMA</div><div>Aviation Maintenance Technician—Powerplant AMP</div><div>The minimum passing score is 70 percent.</div><div>Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airman knowledge tests are effective instruments</div><div>for aviation safety and regulation measurement. However, these tests can only sample</div><div>the vast amount of knowledge every aviation maintenance technician needs.</div><div>Comments may be e-mailed to AFS630Comments@faa.gov.</div><div>KNOWLEDGE TEST ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS</div><div>The general qualifications for an aviation maintenance technician certificate require you</div><div>to have a combination of experience, knowledge, and skill. If you are pursuing an</div><div>aviation maintenance technician certificate with airframe and powerplant ratings, you</div><div>should review the appropriate sections of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations</div><div>(14 CFR) part 65 for detailed information pertaining to eligibility requirements. Further</div><div>information may be obtained from the nearest Flight Standards District Office (FSDO).</div><div>Before taking the certification knowledge and practical tests, you must meet the</div><div>eligibility requirements. The determination of eligibility of applicants for the general,</div><div>airframe, and powerplant tests is made on the basis of one of the following options:</div><div>1. Civil and/or military experience. (See 14 CFR Part 65, Certification: Airmen</div><div>Other Than Flight Crewmembers, Subpart A—General and Subpart D—</div><div>Mechanics.) If you believe you are qualified to exercise this option, you must</div><div>have your experience evaluated and certified by an FAA aviation safety inspector</div><div>(airworthiness). If the inspector determines that you have the required experience,</div><div>two FAA Forms 8610-2, Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application, are</div><div>completed. These forms are issued, and MUST be presented along with</div><div>appropriate identification to take the corresponding knowledge tests. Your</div><div>eligibility to test does not expire.</div><div>2. Graduation from an FAA-certificated aviation maintenance technician</div><div>school (AMTS). Depending upon the testing facility affiliation, a graduation</div><div>certificate, certificate of completion, or an FAA Form 8610-2, Airman Certificate</div><div>and/or Rating Application (properly endorsed), is required, along with proper</div><div>identification.</div><div>2</div><div>If you are taking the tests at a computer testing center and the practical testing is</div><div>administered by a designated mechanic examiner (DME), and both are affiliated with</div><div>the AMTS, a copy of the graduation certificate or certificate of completion (along with</div><div>proper identification) may be all that you are required to present. In this case, the</div><div>school, the testing center, the DME, and the local FSDO will all be involved and know</div><div>what authorization is needed. On the other hand, if either or both the testing center and</div><div>the DME are not affiliated with the AMTS, then FAA Form 8610-2 is required.</div><div>KNOWLEDGE AREAS ON THE TESTS</div><div>Aviation maintenance technician tests are comprehensive because they must test your</div><div>knowledge in many subject areas. The subject areas for the tests are the same as the</div><div>required AMTS curriculum subjects listed in 14 CFR part 147, Aviation Maintenance</div><div>Technician Schools, appendices B, C, and D. However, the subject area titled “Unducted</div><div>Fans” (in appendix D) is not a tested subject at this time. The terms used in 14 CFR</div><div>part 147, appendices B, C, and D, are defined in 14 CFR part 147, appendix A.</div><div>DESCRIPTIONS OF THE TESTS</div><div>All test questions are the objective, multiple-choice type. Each question can be</div><div>answered by the selection of a single response. Each test question is independent of</div><div>other questions; therefore, a correct response to one does not depend upon, or</div><div>influence, the correct response to another. The minimum passing score is 70</div><div>percent.</div><div>The Aviation Maintenance Technician—General test contains 60 questions, and you are</div><div>allowed 2 hours to complete the test.</div><div>The Aviation Maintenance Technician—Airframe and Aviation Maintenance Technician—</div><div>Powerplant tests contain 100 questions each, and you are allowed 2 hours to complete</div><div>each test.</div><div>TEST REGISTRATION</div><div>The first step in taking a knowledge test is the registration process. You may either call</div><div>one of the computer testing designees, (refer to the Computer Testing Designee section</div><div>at the end of this document for 1-800 numbers) or simply use the walk-in basis. If you</div><div>choose to use the 1-800 number to register, you will need to select a testing center,</div><div>schedule a test date, and make financial arrangements for test payment. You may</div><div>register for tests several weeks in advance, and you may cancel your appointment</div><div>according to the CTD’s cancellation policy. If you do not follow the CTD’s cancellation</div><div>policies, you could be subject to a cancellation fee.</div><div>The next step in taking a knowledge test is providing proper identification. An</div><div>acceptable identification document includes a recent photograph, signature, and actual</div><div>residential address, if different from the mailing address. This information may be</div><div>presented in more than one form of identification.</div><div>Acceptable forms of identification include, but are not limited to, drivers’ licenses,</div><div>government identification cards, passports, alien residency (green) cards, and military</div><div>3</div><div>identification cards. Other forms of identification that meet the requirements of this</div><div>paragraph are acceptable. Some applicants may not possess the identification</div><div>documentation described. In any case, you should always check with your local FSDO</div><div>or IFO if you are unsure of the kind of identification to bring to the interview.</div><div>You also need to present authorization to test. Acceptable forms of authorization are:</div><div>􀀣 FAA Form 8610-2.</div><div>􀀣 A graduation certificate or certificate of completion to an affiliated testing center</div><div>as previously explained.</div><div>􀀣 An original (not photocopy) failed Airman Knowledge Test Report, passing</div><div>Airman Knowledge Test Report, or expired Airman Knowledge Test Report.</div><div>Before you take the actual test, you will have the option to take a sample test. The</div><div>actual test is time limited; however, you should have sufficient time to complete and</div><div>review your test.</div><div>TAKING THE TEST</div><div>Communication between individuals through the use of words is a complicated process.</div><div>In addition to being an exercise in the application and use of aeronautical knowledge, a</div><div>knowledge test is also an exercise in communication since it involves the use of the</div><div>written language. Since the tests involve written rather than spoken words,</div><div>communication between the test writer and the person being tested may become a</div><div>difficult matter if care is not exercised by both parties. Consequently, considerable effort</div><div>is expended to write each question in a clear, precise manner. Make sure you read the</div><div>instructions given with the test, as well as the statements in each test item.</div><div>When taking a test, keep the following points in mind:</div><div>􀀣 Answer each question in accordance with the latest regulations and guidance</div><div>publications.</div><div>􀀣 Read each question carefully before looking at the answer options. You should</div><div>clearly understand the problem before attempting to solve it.</div><div>􀀣 After formulating an answer, determine which answer option corresponds with</div><div>your answer. The answer you choose should completely resolve the problem.</div><div>􀀣 From the answer options given, it may appear that there is more than one</div><div>possible answer; however, there is only one answer that is correct and complete.</div><div>The other answers are either incomplete, erroneous, or derived from popular</div><div>misconceptions.</div><div>􀀣 If a certain question is difficult for you, it is best to mark it for review and proceed</div><div>to the next question. After you answer the less difficult questions, return to those</div><div>you marked for review and answer them. The review marking procedure will be</div><div>explained to you prior to starting the test. Although the computer should alert you</div><div>to unanswered questions, make sure every question has an answer recorded.</div><div>This procedure will enable you to use the available time to maximum advantage.</div><div>􀀣 When solving a calculation problem, select the answer that most nearly matches</div><div>your solution. The problem has been checked by various individuals and with</div><div>4</div><div>different types of calculators; therefore, if you have solved it correctly, your</div><div>answer will be closer to the correct answer than any of the other choices.</div><div>USE OF TEST AIDS AND MATERIALS</div><div>You may use aids, reference materials, and test materials within the guidelines listed</div><div>below, if actual test questions or answers are not revealed. All models of aviationoriented</div><div>calculators may be used, including small electronic calculators that perform</div><div>only arithmetic functions (add, subtract, multiply, and divide). Simple programmable</div><div>memories, which allow addition to, subtraction from, or retrieval of one number from the</div><div>memory, are permissible. Also, simple functions such as square root and percent keys</div><div>are permissible.</div><div>The following guidelines apply:</div><div>1.
