CAAP AMT Knowledge Exam study guide
CAAP AMT Knowledge Exam · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The CAAP Aircraft Maintenance Technician Knowledge Exam is the written knowledge assessment used in the Philippine licensing pathway for aircraft maintenance technicians, administered under the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. It is aimed at mechanics and avionics personnel who already have practical training or on-the-job experience and now need to demonstrate regulatory and technical knowledge before advancing toward certification. The CAAP AMT Knowledge Exam study guide has 8 sections and about 2,672 words.
01Philippine Civil Aviation Regulations and CAAP Requirements
The Philippine Civil Aviation Regulations (PCAR) are issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) under Republic Act No. 9497, the Civil Aviation Authority Act of 2008.
359 words, about 2 min02Aircraft Weight and Balance
Weight and balance asks one question: with this load, is the centre of gravity inside the approved envelope for every phase of flight? The exam tests the arithmetic, envelope interpretation, and the operational limits that make the arithmetic matter.
339 words, about 2 min03Aircraft Materials, Hardware, and Hand Tools
This domain tests whether you can identify the alloy, select the correct fastener, and use the tool without damaging the structure. Most marks come from standard hardware and riveting arithmetic.
333 words, about 2 min04Aircraft Maintenance Practices and Safety
This domain covers ground handling, servicing, and the safety discipline that prevents injury and aircraft damage. The exam favours scenarios: what do you connect first, which extinguisher, what do you do before jacking.
341 words, about 2 min05Airframe Structures and Systems
This domain tests how the airframe carries load and how the major systems generate and control force. Expect questions on semi-monocoque construction and on hydraulic and pressurization fundamentals.
330 words, about 2 min06Powerplant Theory and Engine Systems
This domain covers reciprocating and turbine engine theory, the systems that keep them running, and the instruments that reveal trouble. Expect cycle questions plus practical limits.
307 words, about 2 min07Avionics and Electrical Systems
This domain tests basic electricity, aircraft wiring practice, and the avionics that depend on clean power and accurate static pressure. Ohm's law: V = I x R.
341 words, about 2 min08Human Factors and Maintenance Resource Management
This domain tests why competent mechanics still make errors, and what systems and habits reduce them. Questions often present a scenario and ask for the best barrier, not the best intention.
