Part-66 Module 10 exam-day guide
Part-66 Module 10 · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo ID
Bring the original, in-date photo ID your provider requires (commonly a passport or national driving licence). Confirm accepted ID types and whether a second form is needed - do not rely on a photocopy or a photo on your phone.
Exam booking / candidate confirmation
Bring the booking confirmation or candidate reference issued by your Part-147 training organisation, printed or as instructed.
Confirmed venue, room and arrival time
Check the exact building, room and reporting time at least 48 h ahead; campus rooms are often reassigned. Note the provider's late-arrival rule - confirm with the provider.
Approved calculator (if permitted)
Module 10 is largely regulatory, but weight-and-balance-style or date/interval arithmetic can appear in continuing-airworthiness questions. If calculators are allowed, use a basic non-programmable type with the case left behind. Confirm the provider's device policy.
Pens, pencil and eraser
Take two black or blue pens plus a pencil and eraser in a clear pouch, in case the paper answer sheet requires pencil shading. Confirm whether the exam is paper-based or computer-based.
No notes, no devices at the desk
Leave phones, smartwatches, earphones and any revision notes in a locker or at home. Do not bring annotated regulation extracts - they will be treated as unauthorised material.
Syllabus-level revision of Module 10 content
Be able to state, from memory: the EU regulatory framework (Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 and its delegated/implementing acts), the roles of EASA and the competent authority, Part-66 categories and licence privileges, Part-145 and Part-M/Part-ML responsibilities, Part-21 and certification, continuing airworthiness management, maintenance programmes, ADs, SBs and modifications, MEL/CDL, technical documentation, release to service and CRS, and occurrence reporting.
Practised question timing
Do at least one timed mock under exam conditions. EASA Part-66 multiple-choice modules are commonly 75% to pass; confirm the exact question count, duration and pass mark for Module 10 with your provider, as they administer the paper.
Known resit and results policy
Find out how and when results are issued and what the resit/attempt limits are under your organisation's procedures. Confirm with the provider.
Travel and rest plan
Plan the route and a backup, aim to arrive well before the reporting time, and protect sleep the night before. Fatigue costs more marks than one extra hour of revision.
Plan the day
Stop learning new topics. Re-read your own summary sheet on licence categories and privileges, Part-145 vs Part-M/Part-ML responsibilities, and continuing-airworthiness timelines. Do one full timed mock and review only the questions you got wrong.
Re-confirm venue, room, reporting time, ID requirements and permitted equipment in writing with your training organisation.
Light revision only: key definitions and the document hierarchy (regulations, Part-66, Part-145, Part-M/ML, Part-21, ADs, SBs, MEL). Pack ID, confirmation, pens and calculator. Prepare clothes and transport. No all-nighters.
Eat properly, set two alarms, and check travel disruptions. Decide what you will do with your phone on arrival (locker or left at home).
Eat a normal breakfast, arrive early, and do not attempt a panic review of new material. Hand in devices as instructed, sit where directed, and read the candidate instructions before starting.
Read each stem fully and watch for 'not', 'except' and 'must'. Answer easy questions first, flag uncertain ones, then return to them. Eliminate obviously wrong options before guessing - there is normally no penalty for a wrong answer, but confirm the marking rule with the provider.
Keep an eye on the clock against the question count. Leave time to transfer or check answers and to confirm you have answered every question. If you need to leave the room, follow the invigilator's procedure.
Note which topics felt weak while memory is fresh, and confirm with the provider when results are released and how a resit would be arranged.
Rules to check
Bring only the ID and equipment your provider has authorised; everything else stays in a locker or at home. Unauthorised material or a device at the desk is normally treated as misconduct.
Follow the invigilator's instructions at all times, including on seating, starting and stopping, and on leaving and re-entering the room. Break and toilet rules vary by centre - confirm with the provider.
No communication with other candidates from the moment you enter the exam room; do not discuss or share question content afterwards either.
Complete the answer sheet or on-screen answers exactly as instructed - candidate number, module number and any version code. Misrecorded details can invalidate a paper.
The pass standard and any negative marking are set by the awarding organisation and administered by your Part-147 provider - confirm the exact pass mark, question count and time allowance before the exam rather than assuming.
If you believe a question is defective or you are disrupted during the exam, raise it immediately with the invigilator and follow the provider's appeals or special-consideration procedure; confirm how to do this in advance.
Arrive within the provider's late-arrival window; candidates arriving after the permitted time may be refused entry - confirm the cut-off with the provider.
