CAAB AME B1.2 study plan

Solve arithmetic, ratio, percentage and proportion problems without a calculator until error-free

Convert between SI and imperial maintenance units (pressure, torque, temperature, length) and check answers for plausibility

Rearrange and evaluate linear, simultaneous and quadratic equations typical of AME calculations

Apply Pythagoras and sine/cosine/tangent to resolve forces, vectors and simple component problems

State Newton's laws and compute force, mass, acceleration, moment, work, power and energy in lever and pulley examples

Calculate equivalent resistance, branch current and voltage drop in series, parallel and series-parallel circuits

Apply Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws and power relationships to multi-branch networks

Explain magnetism, electromagnetic induction and the DC/AC behaviour of capacitors and inductors

Describe AC quantities (frequency, period, peak vs RMS, phase) and compute impedance in RLC circuits

Compute transformer turns ratio and resulting secondary voltage and current for a given load

Identify diode types and explain their function in rectification, clipping and circuit protection

Explain BJT and FET operation, sketch the common amplifier configurations and calculate simple gain and bias values

Convert between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal and perform binary addition and subtraction

Construct truth tables for combinational logic using AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR and match them to aircraft logic functions

Describe a typical digital aircraft architecture: data bus types, LRUs, data words, and how electronic instrument systems present information to crew

Classify ferrous, non-ferrous and composite materials and match each to specific airframe, engine and propeller applications

Select the correct standard hardware for a given joint: bolt type, nut, washer, rivet, bearing or locking device, with the correct torque and thread practice

Identify corrosion types and choose the correct inspection method and treatment

Apply maintenance-practice procedures: foreign object control, tool control, lockwiring, torque wrench use and task recording

Explain weighing, placarding, inspection intervals and the purpose of service bulletins and airworthiness directives

Explain lift, drag, thrust and weight and describe how the four forces balance in level flight, climb and descent

Describe aerofoil terminology, angle of attack, stall behaviour, Mach effects and stability about the three axes

Explain propeller theory: blade angle, pitch, slip, helix angle, thrust generation and the stresses carried by the blade

Compare fixed-pitch and constant-speed propellers, describe blade construction and materials, and explain the governor's function

Explain propeller balancing, vibration sources, ice protection and the safety precautions for ground running

Apply the SHELL model and the common maintenance error categories to three real incident scenarios

Explain how fatigue, stress, workload, noise, temperature and lighting degrade inspection and task performance

Describe the ICAO Annex structure and how the Part-66, Part-145 and Part-M regulations relate to each other

State the privileges, limitations and certification responsibilities of a B1.2 licence holder, including record keeping and continuing airworthiness

Explain the role of maintenance documentation (AMM, IPC, MEL, AD, SB) and the approval process behind each

Re-test all ten domains in 20-minute blocks and rank them by score to expose the three weakest

Drill the three weakest domains with flashcards and worked examples until recall is 85% or better

Rewrite the formula sheet from memory and verify every entry against the source material

Practise pacing by completing two 30-question sets in 30 minutes each

Sit two full-length mock papers closed-book and timed to build exam stamina

Convert every wrong answer into a one-line rule on a condensed revision card

Recall procedural knowledge (licensing, documentation, safety, human factors) at 90% or better

Walk through the exam-day routine: question triage, flagging, time checks and answer review
