INTRODUCTION

FAA-G-8082-3A, Aviation Maintenance Technician—General, Airframe, and Powerplant

Knowledge Test Guide, provides information for preparing you to take one or all of the

following knowledge tests. This document supersedes FAA-G-8082-3, Aviation

Mechanic General, Airframe, and Powerplant Knowledge Test Guide, dated 1999.

TEST NAME TEST CODE

Aviation Maintenance Technician—General AMG

Aviation Maintenance Technician—Airframe AMA

Aviation Maintenance Technician—Powerplant AMP

The minimum passing score is 70 percent.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airman knowledge tests are effective instruments

for aviation safety and regulation measurement. However, these tests can only sample

the vast amount of knowledge every aviation maintenance technician needs.

Comments may be e-mailed to AFS630Comments@faa.gov.

KNOWLEDGE TEST ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

The general qualifications for an aviation maintenance technician certificate require you

to have a combination of experience, knowledge, and skill. If you are pursuing an

aviation maintenance technician certificate with airframe and powerplant ratings, you

should review the appropriate sections of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations

(14 CFR) part 65 for detailed information pertaining to eligibility requirements. Further

information may be obtained from the nearest Flight Standards District Office (FSDO).

Before taking the certification knowledge and practical tests, you must meet the

eligibility requirements. The determination of eligibility of applicants for the general,

airframe, and powerplant tests is made on the basis of one of the following options:

1. Civil and/or military experience. (See 14 CFR Part 65, Certification: Airmen

Other Than Flight Crewmembers, Subpart A—General and Subpart D—

Mechanics.) If you believe you are qualified to exercise this option, you must

have your experience evaluated and certified by an FAA aviation safety inspector

(airworthiness). If the inspector determines that you have the required experience,

two FAA Forms 8610-2, Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application, are

completed. These forms are issued, and MUST be presented along with

appropriate identification to take the corresponding knowledge tests. Your

eligibility to test does not expire.

2. Graduation from an FAA-certificated aviation maintenance technician

school (AMTS). Depending upon the testing facility affiliation, a graduation

certificate, certificate of completion, or an FAA Form 8610-2, Airman Certificate

and/or Rating Application (properly endorsed), is required, along with proper

identification.

If you are taking the tests at a computer testing center and the practical testing is

administered by a designated mechanic examiner (DME), and both are affiliated with

the AMTS, a copy of the graduation certificate or certificate of completion (along with

proper identification) may be all that you are required to present. In this case, the

school, the testing center, the DME, and the local FSDO will all be involved and know

what authorization is needed. On the other hand, if either or both the testing center and

the DME are not affiliated with the AMTS, then FAA Form 8610-2 is required.

KNOWLEDGE AREAS ON THE TESTS

Aviation maintenance technician tests are comprehensive because they must test your

knowledge in many subject areas. The subject areas for the tests are the same as the

required AMTS curriculum subjects listed in 14 CFR part 147, Aviation Maintenance

Technician Schools, appendices B, C, and D. However, the subject area titled “Unducted

Fans” (in appendix D) is not a tested subject at this time. The terms used in 14 CFR

part 147, appendices B, C, and D, are defined in 14 CFR part 147, appendix A.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE TESTS

All test questions are the objective, multiple-choice type. Each question can be

answered by the selection of a single response. Each test question is independent of

other questions; therefore, a correct response to one does not depend upon, or

influence, the correct response to another. The minimum passing score is 70

percent.

The Aviation Maintenance Technician—General test contains 60 questions, and you are

allowed 2 hours to complete the test.

The Aviation Maintenance Technician—Airframe and Aviation Maintenance Technician—

Powerplant tests contain 100 questions each, and you are allowed 2 hours to complete

each test.

TEST REGISTRATION

The first step in taking a knowledge test is the registration process. You may either call

one of the computer testing designees, (refer to the Computer Testing Designee section

at the end of this document for 1-800 numbers) or simply use the walk-in basis. If you

choose to use the 1-800 number to register, you will need to select a testing center,

schedule a test date, and make financial arrangements for test payment. You may

register for tests several weeks in advance, and you may cancel your appointment

according to the CTD’s cancellation policy. If you do not follow the CTD’s cancellation

policies, you could be subject to a cancellation fee.

The next step in taking a knowledge test is providing proper identification. An

acceptable identification document includes a recent photograph, signature, and actual

residential address, if different from the mailing address. This information may be

presented in more than one form of identification.

Acceptable forms of identification include, but are not limited to, drivers’ licenses,

government identification cards, passports, alien residency (green) cards, and military

3

identification cards. Other forms of identification that meet the requirements of this

paragraph are acceptable. Some applicants may not possess the identification

documentation described. In any case, you should always check with your local FSDO

or IFO if you are unsure of the kind of identification to bring to the interview.

You also need to present authorization to test. Acceptable forms of authorization are:

􀀣 FAA Form 8610-2.

􀀣 A graduation certificate or certificate of completion to an affiliated testing center

as previously explained.

􀀣 An original (not photocopy) failed Airman Knowledge Test Report, passing

Airman Knowledge Test Report, or expired Airman Knowledge Test Report.

Before you take the actual test, you will have the option to take a sample test. The

actual test is time limited; however, you should have sufficient time to complete and

review your test.

TAKING THE TEST

Communication between individuals through the use of words is a complicated process.

In addition to being an exercise in the application and use of aeronautical knowledge, a

knowledge test is also an exercise in communication since it involves the use of the

written language. Since the tests involve written rather than spoken words,

communication between the test writer and the person being tested may become a

difficult matter if care is not exercised by both parties. Consequently, considerable effort

is expended to write each question in a clear, precise manner. Make sure you read the

instructions given with the test, as well as the statements in each test item.

When taking a test, keep the following points in mind:

􀀣 Answer each question in accordance with the latest regulations and guidance

publications.

􀀣 Read each question carefully before looking at the answer options. You should

clearly understand the problem before attempting to solve it.

􀀣 After formulating an answer, determine which answer option corresponds with

your answer. The answer you choose should completely resolve the problem.

􀀣 From the answer options given, it may appear that there is more than one

possible answer; however, there is only one answer that is correct and complete.

The other answers are either incomplete, erroneous, or derived from popular

misconceptions.

􀀣 If a certain question is difficult for you, it is best to mark it for review and proceed

to the next question. After you answer the less difficult questions, return to those

you marked for review and answer them. The review marking procedure will be

explained to you prior to starting the test. Although the computer should alert you

to unanswered questions, make sure every question has an answer recorded.

This procedure will enable you to use the available time to maximum advantage.

􀀣 When solving a calculation problem, select the answer that most nearly matches

your solution. The problem has been checked by various individuals and with

4

different types of calculators; therefore, if you have solved it correctly, your

answer will be closer to the correct answer than any of the other choices.

USE OF TEST AIDS AND MATERIALS

You may use aids, reference materials, and test materials within the guidelines listed

below, if actual test questions or answers are not revealed. All models of aviationoriented

calculators may be used, including small electronic calculators that perform

only arithmetic functions (add, subtract, multiply, and divide). Simple programmable

memories, which allow addition to, subtraction from, or retrieval of one number from the

memory, are permissible. Also, simple functions such as square root and percent keys

are permissible.

The following guidelines apply:

1. You may use any reference
