The NCAA AME Avionics study guide has 4 sections and about 1,378 words.
01Avionics Systems and Aircraft Electrical/Electronic Maintenance
This domain tests whether you understand how aircraft electrical power, data buses and avionics line-replaceable units (LRUs) work together, and whether you can use that knowledge for fault isolation, repair and testing rather than simply swapping boxes. Expect questions on power distribution, circuit protection, bonding and shielding, connector and wiring practices, and digital bus behaviour.
353 words, about 2 min02Airworthiness Requirements and Regulations for Avionics Maintenance
This domain tests how avionics maintenance is kept airworthy: what data you may use, how modifications are approved, how airworthiness directives and service information apply, and how equipment approval differs from installation approval. Maintenance must use approved data: the manufacturer's maintenance manual, structural repair manual, service bulletins incorporated as required, or an approved supplemental type certificate (STC).
332 words, about 2 min03Maintenance Records, Inspection and Certification of Avionics Work
This domain examines the paperwork and inspection discipline that turns a maintenance task into a legally completed job: work orders, task cards, inspection, certification of release to service and records retention. Every task should be traceable: work order, task card, technician identification, date, part number and serial number, and the reference to approved data.
337 words, about 2 min04Personnel Licensing Requirements for the AME Licence
This domain tests the licensing framework for aircraft maintenance engineers, especially the avionics (B2) category: what the licence permits, what it does not permit, and what additional authorisation is needed before certifying work. The framework follows ICAO Annex 1 principles and national Part 66-style rules.
