01Aircraft Engineering Practice - Discipline Requirements
This domain tests aircraft engineering practice under Hong Kong's regulatory framework: how you classify work, select the approval route, release aircraft to service, and account for your signature. The exam favours applied judgement over recall. Hong Kong aircraft engineering is governed by the Civil Aviation Ordinance (Cap. 448) and CAD-issued HKARs.
