CAAB AME B1.1 Exam study plan

CAAB AME B1.1 Exam · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 8 hours per week

Week 1

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (B1.1) - module content not enumerated in source

Map the entire B1.1 module syllabus into a personal topic checklist, marking each module as Strong, Shaky, or Unknown after a cold self-audit
Define the scope of the four heaviest modules (Mathematics, Electrical Fundamentals, Aircraft Materials and Hardware, Maintenance Practices) and rank them by exam weighting and your own audit gaps
Build a week-by-week backlog that assigns every module a target week, so nothing is left unstudied before week 8

A one-page module coverage matrix listing every B1.1 module with your self-rated confidence and an assigned study week.

Week 2

Work through the Mathematics module: solve practice problems on arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry without a calculator where the exam forbids it
Derive and apply the physics relationships used later in the aircraft (force, work, power, pressure, moments) so the formulas are recalled, not looked up
Complete a timed 20-question self-test on Mathematics and Physics and log every wrong answer with the underlying concept

A worked-problem notebook of at least 40 solved Mathematics and Physics items plus an error log of missed concepts.

Week 3

Cover Electrical Fundamentals: define voltage, current, resistance, Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, and power dissipation
Explain the behaviour of capacitors, inductors, and transformers in DC and AC circuits at a conceptual level suitable for multiple-choice recall
Practice reading simple circuit diagrams and calculating equivalent resistance, current, and voltage drops

A set of 30 circuit calculations solved end to end with units shown at each step.

Week 4

Cover Aircraft Materials and Hardware: identify ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites, and their typical aircraft applications
Distinguish fastener types, locking devices, and standard hardware and state where each is used
Recall corrosion types and the inspection and treatment actions for each

A flashcard deck of at least 60 material and hardware identification cards, self-tested to 80% recall.

Week 5

Cover Maintenance Practices: describe safety precautions, lockout and warning procedures, and the handling of fluids and gases
Explain inspection methods, non-destructive testing techniques, and when each is appropriate
Recall documentation and record-keeping requirements, including the role of maintenance manuals and release paperwork

A written summary of 15 maintenance-practice scenarios, each matched to the correct procedure and documentation step.

Week 6

Cover the remaining lighter modules (for example Human Factors, Aviation Legislation, and Aerodynamics) at survey depth, focusing on definitions and regulatory facts
Cross-check each surveyed module against the coverage matrix and flag anything still marked Unknown
Practice 40 mixed-topic questions under timed conditions to expose weak recall across modules

A completed coverage matrix with zero modules left Unknown and a timed 40-question score recorded.

Week 7

Rework every item in the error log from weeks 2 to 6 and re-test until each concept is answered correctly twice
Run two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and analyse mistakes by module
Drill the highest-frequency recall facts (units, definitions, limits, and standard values) using spaced repetition

Two completed mock exams with a written error analysis and a revised list of the five weakest concepts.

Week 8

Close out the five weakest concepts identified in week 7 with targeted re-study and fresh practice questions
Run one final timed mock exam and confirm the score is stable and above your target pass margin
Consolidate a one-page formula and facts sheet for final review the night before the exam

A final mock exam score report plus a completed one-page formula and facts sheet.

Week 2: Module coverage matrix is filled in and every B1.1 module has an assigned study week.

Week 4: Mathematics, Physics, and Electrical Fundamentals are complete, with the error log showing at least 20 logged and corrected mistakes.

Week 6: All modules have been studied at least once; no module remains marked Unknown on the coverage matrix.

Week 7: Two full-length timed mocks completed with scores recorded and errors analysed by module.

Week 8: Final mock score is stable across two attempts and above your target pass margin.
