Anyone have info regarding the new format for Transport Canada Exams. I need some info about the powerplant section. Now recips, turbines, and propellers are all in one exam. Has anyone taken it and has some tips or information?

Thanks!

yes i just wrote it three months ago, i was a little weak in the props section, but i blame that on my crappy teacher at Con College. Either way, it is not to bad...let me know if you need specific help on anything.

Thanks! What info or books should i concentrate most on. Is there a study guide where i can find these questions? Any hints or tips it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

well there is the study guide on the transport website

http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/maint ... atingM.htm

it shows you the areas to study, i figure you already have it though. I used it and did pretty good on it. Hope that helped.

I'm currently studying for the tech exams myself.

Can anyone enlighten me on a few things:

What's the style of questions i.e. are they multiple choice or a mix between multi and essay?

Are you required to memorise conversion formulas i.e. feet to metre etc.?

Are calculators allowed?

Or are all these points explained/made clear when applying for the exams?

Thanks guys.

All multiple guess, no formula memorization, and yes calc's are allowed. Even the skookum whizwheel variety!! The study guide they provide should have all of the details. Good Luck!

when you guys do get your exams done remember that pilots like the plane kept tidy. take care of that will you lads?

Cheers, wp

Good point wp! I've seen way too many apprenti that forget about the housekeeping requirement. Emphasizing the importance of a tidy aircraft as part of their schooling would truly benefit all maintenance staff.

Spoken like a true 200 hour pilot! Have fun picking up beer cans and fish guts this summer!

[yok driver]

Wouldn't dream of it. Never had to do "the helps work" and I never will. Pilots are too busy to be bothered with that sort of demeaning labour. Fish guts indeed!
Cheers, The Driver.

Sounds like yok driver isn't a 200 hour bush pilot, probably a 1500 hour instructor - same shit!
