CAAM Part 66 Module 10 Aviation Legislation Exam exam-day guide
CAAM Part 66 Module 10 Aviation Legislation Exam · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo ID
Bring the original government-issued photo ID (passport or national ID card) whose name matches your exam booking exactly. If you have any doubt about which ID form the test centre accepts, confirm with the provider before booking travel.
Exam appointment confirmation
Print or download the booking confirmation showing date, time, centre address and your candidate/reference number. Keep it accessible on paper in case phone use is restricted at the centre.
Approved calculator
Module 10 is largely regulatory, but a basic non-programmable calculator may help with anything numeric. Check the provider's permitted-calculator list; if it is not stated, confirm with the provider and be ready to have the device inspected.
Stationery per provider rules
Some centres supply pens and paper; others allow only what they issue. Do not assume you may bring your own notes or loose paper. Confirm with the provider what is permitted in the test room.
No notes, books or phone in the test room
Revision notes, textbooks, smart watches and phones are normally prohibited at the desk. Plan to leave them in a locker or at home. Exact storage arrangements vary, so confirm with the provider.
Know the venue and route
Reconnoitre the test centre location, entrance and parking or public transport options in advance. Arrive with a buffer; late arrival may mean refused entry under centre rules.
Syllabus and knowledge check
Re-read the Module 10 syllabus topics (regulatory bodies, Part 66/145/147, airworthiness, maintenance documentation, human factors interfaces, EASA/UK CAA or local authority requirements) and mark weak areas. Use the current syllabus published by your awarding body.
Practice question timing
Do at least one timed mock under exam conditions to calibrate pace. Record which topics cost you the most time and revise those first.
Personal medication and comfort items
Bring any necessary medication and a water bottle if the centre allows it. Access arrangements for medical needs must usually be requested in advance; confirm with the provider.
Arrival time requirement
Find out the required check-in time (often before the scheduled start). This is centre-specific, so confirm with the provider and note it in your diary.
Language and special arrangements
If you need extra time, a separate room, or a permitted dictionary/translation aid, request it well before exam day. Approval is not automatic; confirm with the provider and keep written confirmation.
Rest and logistics plan
Plan sleep, meals and travel the day before so exam morning is low-stress. Avoid last-minute cramming of new material; consolidate what you already know.
Plan the day
Finish content revision. Work through the Module 10 syllabus topic by topic and write a one-page summary of each: the role of the regulator, Part 66 licensing categories and privileges, Part 145 organisation responsibilities, Part 147 training, continuing airworthiness management, maintenance records and release to service, and occurrence reporting. Focus on definitions and the 'who may do what' distinctions, which are common exam discriminators.
Do a full timed mock paper. Mark it honestly, list every wrong or guessed answer with the underlying rule, and re-read only those areas. Do not start new textbooks at this stage.
Confirm logistics: print the appointment confirmation, check the centre address and travel time, and verify your ID name matches the booking. If anything is unclear about ID, permitted items or arrival time, contact the provider now rather than on the day.
Light consolidation only: review your own summary sheets and the list of mistakes from the mock. Pack ID, confirmation and any approved items in one bag. Check the weather and transport disruptions, set two alarms, and aim for a normal night's sleep.
Eat a normal breakfast, arrive at the centre with the buffer you planned, and complete ID checks and any security screening. Keep conversation with other candidates light; avoid comparing last-minute facts that may confuse you.
Read the instructions and note the time limit and question count. Answer easy questions first, flag uncertain ones, and return to them. Read each stem for words like 'must', 'may', 'not' and 'primary responsibility'. Eliminate clearly wrong options, then choose the best remaining answer. If negative marking is not applied, never leave a blank; if you are unsure whether it applies, confirm with the provider beforehand.
Use the last few minutes to check that every question is answered and that flagged items are resolved. After the exam, note which topics felt weak while memory is fresh, in case a resit is needed. Keep your result notification safe.
Rules to check
Bring original photo ID matching the booking name; photocopies and expired documents are normally refused. If your ID situation is unusual (recent name change, non-standard document), confirm with the provider in advance.
Arrive by the check-in time stated by the centre. Late candidates may be refused entry or given reduced time; the exact policy is centre-specific, so confirm with the provider.
Do not bring unauthorised materials into the test room: notes, textbooks, phones, smart watches and similar devices. Follow the centre's storage instructions exactly.
Follow invigilator instructions at all times. Any attempt to communicate with other candidates, copy answers or use prohibited aids is misconduct and can lead to invalidation and further sanctions under the awarding body's rules.
Breaks are usually limited and may not stop the clock. Find out in advance whether supervised comfort breaks are allowed and how they affect your time; confirm with the provider.
Scoring and the pass mark are set by the awarding body (commonly a percentage pass threshold for Part 66 modules). Check the current published pass standard for Module 10 with your provider rather than relying on hearsay.
If you believe there is a fault with your paper, equipment or conditions, raise it with the invigilator immediately and ask for it to be recorded; post-exam appeals usually depend on a contemporaneous report.
Results and any resit arrangements are governed by the awarding body's procedures. Keep your candidate number and result documentation, and confirm resit rules with the provider.
