ExploreAbout this exam
Module 10 Aviation Legislation is one of the knowledge modules in the aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) licensing framework administered by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM). CAAM lists Aircraft Maintenance Engineer among its personnel licensing areas, alongside aerodrome licensing, air traffic controllers, flight crew and ground handlers, and publishes its legislation and regulations under headings that include General, Airworthiness, Air Operations, Aerodrome and Air Navigation Services. This module tests whether a candidate can find, read and apply that regulatory material rather than recite it. The four domains are regulatory bodies, CAAM Part 66 certifying staff, approved maintenance organisations, and aircraft maintenance. Expect multiple-choice questions that test precise distinctions: which body does what, who may certify a task, what an organisation must hold, and which rules govern a maintenance activity. Preparation should start with the CAAM website itself: read the Personnel Licenses and Legislation & Regulations sections, note how directives and circulars are published, and check the Announcements page for consultation notices such as CAN 03/2026, which announces new and revised Civil Aviation Directives effective 14 December 2026. Because directives change, study the current text and track announced revisions rather than relying on older summaries.

What you'll study
About CAAM Part 66 Module 10 Aviation Legislation Exam preparation
Who is this exam for?
Candidates working toward an aircraft maintenance engineer licence under the CAAM Part 66 framework, and maintenance staff who need a working knowledge of Malaysian aviation legislation. It suits people already familiar with basic maintenance practice who now need to apply the rules correctly.
What format should I expect?
Multiple-choice questions across four domains: regulatory bodies, CAAM Part 66 certifying staff, approved maintenance organisations, and aircraft maintenance. Treat the domain weights as a study guide, not a guarantee of the exact number of questions in each area on your paper.
How difficult is Module 10?
Most candidates find the content readable but the questions precise. Difficulty comes from similar-sounding roles and responsibilities, and from wording that changes meaning with one word. Memorising headings is not enough; you must be able to choose the correct rule for a described situation.
How long should I spend studying?
Plan several weeks rather than days. Read the CAAM legislation pages once for structure, then again domain by domain while making your own summary of who approves what and who may certify what. Finish with timed practice so you can answer without checking references.
What is the best study order?
Start with regulatory bodies so you understand who issues and enforces rules. Then study Part 66 certifying staff, followed by approved maintenance organisations, and finish with aircraft maintenance, where the earlier domains are applied. This order reduces repeated backtracking.
What are common failure modes?
Confusing the roles of different authorities and organisational approvals, assuming an older rule still applies, and answering from memory instead of the current directive. Another frequent error is skimming questions that contain a qualifier such as 'not' or 'may not'.
How do I keep up with legislative changes?
Use the CAAM website. The Announcements page carries consultation notices, including CAN 03/2026 on new and revised Civil Aviation Directives effective 14 December 2026. Check it before your exam and re-read any directive that has been revised since your study notes were written.
Can I retake the exam if I fail?
Retake rules, fees and waiting periods are set by the authority and the examination centre, not by this page. Confirm the current policy directly with CAAM or your approved training organisation before booking, since terms can change between sittings.
Is this page official CAAM material?
No. This is independent study content written for candidates preparing for the module. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or issued by CAAM. Always verify legislation against the current official CAAM publications before relying on it in practice.
