CAAB AME B2 Exam · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Mathematics

  • Solve 40 mixed arithmetic and algebra problems (fractions, ratio, proportion, powers, roots, transposition) without a calculator error

  • Convert and calculate values across aviation units (in/mm, lb/kg, °C/°F/K, psi/bar, US gal/L) to within 1% accuracy

  • Apply geometry and trigonometry (Pythagoras, sine/cosine rules, area and volume of common shapes) to 20 practical airframe-style problems

  • Build a one-page handwritten formula and unit-conversion sheet covering all Week 1 content and use it on a practice set

Your checkpoint

Timed 50-question mathematics paper scored at 80% or higher, with every wrong answer corrected and annotated with the cause of the error

Week 2

Physics

  • Calculate force, moment, and equilibrium conditions for 15 lever and beam problems, including centre of gravity of simple bodies

  • Explain and compute work, power, energy, efficiency, and momentum in mechanical and fluid systems

  • Describe pressure, temperature, and gas behaviour in aircraft systems, and solve 10 gas-law and hydraulics problems

  • Sketch and label the principles of refraction, reflection, fibre optics, and sound/noise attenuation used in aviation

Your checkpoint

Two-page physics summary of worked numerical examples (forces, fluids, thermodynamics, optics) plus a 40-question self-test scored at 80%

Week 3

Electrical Fundamentals

  • Solve 25 DC circuit problems using Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, series/parallel networks, and internal resistance

  • Calculate AC quantities (frequency, period, phase, impedance, power factor) for resistive, inductive, and capacitive circuits

  • Explain magnetism, electromagnetic induction, and the operating principle of transformers, generators, and DC/AC motors

  • Identify and describe aircraft electrical supply systems, relays, fuses, circuit breakers, and cable selection factors

  • Interpret simple electrical schematic symbols and trace current paths in a given circuit description

Your checkpoint

Circuit workbook of 25 fully worked schematic problems (with component symbols drawn by hand) plus a 40-question electrical fundamentals test at 80%

Week 4

Electronic Fundamentals & Digital Techniques and Electronic Instrument Systems

  • Describe the construction, characteristics, and failure modes of diodes, rectifiers, transistors, thyristors, and integrated circuits, and identify them from symbol descriptions

  • Explain operational amplifier and logic gate functions, and complete truth tables for AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XOR combinations

  • Convert between binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal, and perform binary arithmetic including two's complement subtraction

  • Describe digital data buses, fibre-optic and ARINC-style architectures, and computer memory/CPU/microprocessor organisation at block level

  • Explain the layout, function, and failure indications of electronic instrument systems (EIS/EFIS, ADC, AHRS, display units)

Your checkpoint

Half-length timed mock examination covering Domains 1-5 (100 questions) scored at 70% or higher, with a written error log listing topic, cause, and remediation action for each miss

Week 5

Materials and Hardware

  • Classify aircraft metallic materials and heat treatments, and state the properties, identification, and typical applications of each

  • Describe composite, ceramic, and non-metallic material construction, damage types, and inspection methods

  • Select and specify threaded fasteners, locking devices, rivets, and fittings for given joint descriptions, including correct torque practice

  • Match bearings, seals, springs, pipes, unions, and control cables to their function and inspection criteria

  • Explain corrosion mechanisms and the standard NDT methods (visual, dye penetrant, magnetic particle, eddy current, ultrasonic, radiographic) with their limits
