Hey Saleem
I wrote my Airframe and failed by a couple of questions a couple of weeks ago. I strongly recommend you read the jeppesen cover to cover. I was kicked in the groin by TC with the helicopter questions which were about 40 of them on the exam. If you can get a hold of the jeppesen helicopter book this would help you considerably. I can write again in a couple weeks and am going to attempt it.

Thanks for the advice so far guys, anyone out there have any practise exams for powerplant/airframe/general. I have the Jeppesen test guides but looking for all the help I can get. I am pretty good hands on but exams and books are definately my weakness.

Would be willing to trade some cold ones for any exams!!!

[binny45]

I wish I could get some Standard Practices and Avionics practice exams.

Studying like crazy, but all the practice exams seem to be CARS only.

I passed my last Airframe exam yesterday
I used ASA prep test book from aviation world
It was very helpful but you need to know pretty much everything
I failed my first attempt on standard exam but it helped me a lot
After I knew what I had to study for that exam
Powerplant was HARD I used text book and ASA prep test and passed it
Airframe was OK but you need to study ASA prep test
Good luck!

I need some help with my airframe and standard practices exams. I have been out of school since 99 (I know procrastinator). Anyone have any info or links to help me out. Old example exams would be nice.

transport has the testing critera on their website. Then use your general, a/f and pp textbooks to research. each book has test workbooks you can buy. some of the q's for tc exams are from there.

[fgrimes]

qa guy is setting you up to fail. study up on the textbooks, the transport "study guide" is just the table of contents of the textbooks. but study up and go write, you might pass, you probably won't. book again in 30 days then you will pass as you will know what to expect. I went to too many tech exams convinced that I would be able to pass it based on my knowledge and experience and the tips of the older guys. You can't look at it that way. The test is not fair, it doesn't evolve the way a normal college or university test would evolve because transport won't let it. you can't complain to anyone, or even legally discuss the contents of the exam, read what you sign to take it. Lots of guys that go through colleges think these exams aren't difficult because they have been coached to pass them. Their knowledge extends to passing exams, it doesn't make them good engineers. Just don't get discouraged if you don't pass the first time, as you are not supposed to, lol. the fifty bucks is not a big deal think of all the money and respect you will get when you do suceed

Is anyone can help me to get technical exam sample question?
Thanks

[Deadeye]

your best bet is the jeppsen series and asa prep.

[ayhombre]

Has anyone taken the tech exams recently? What is actually on the exams? I'm mostly concerned with the Airframe exam, I know there are a lot of helicopter questions, but what else to expect? There is no way the whole study guide is on the test, but what is on it?
Any help is greatly appriciated. Thanks alot

just wrote airframe expect 25 helicopter questions.

[ayhombre]

I JUST WROTE THE AIRFRAME EXAM. FAILED BY 1 QUESTION. I WAS NOT EXPECTING 20-25 HELICOPTER QUESTIONS. THATS WHERE I WENT WRONG. STUDY HELICOPTERS ALOT. IF YOU GET ALL THE QUESTIONS RIGHT THATS 30% OF THE EXAM. APART FROM THAT EMAIL ME. I REMEMBER ALOT OF THE TOPICS. IM WRITING STANDARD PRACTICES IN 2 WEEKS. ANYBODY HAVE ANY ADVICE. WHAT SHOULD I FOCUS ON?

[ayhombre]

I REMEMBER ALOT OF THE QUESTIONS FROM AIRFRAME. I AM IN YUL MONTREAL. AM WILLING TO HELP ANYONE WRITING AIRFRAME IN EXCHANGE FOR INFO ON STANDARD PRACTICES. CHEERS.

[Deadeye]

Did Standard last month.... Electicity- couple questions on ohms law. Know hardware ie. rivets, AN stuff like bolt length and material color and ident ( D= alum), corrosion types and treatment,NDT,Fire types, Fuel types and color code, Ridged tube/flex hose (skydrol) and Drawings. Some weight and balance. Get the ASA prepware and cross ref with Jeppsen. really helps. Passed no prob, also passed airframe last week no prob. Get the Jeppesen Helicopter Maintenance with workbook, that was more than enough to get through.

[Deadeye]

any info on powerplant?

[bring me the horizon]

Hi everyone. I'm a long time observer, first time contributor. I completed the ICS program a little over 4 years ago and I'm currently on the home stretch of my apprenticeship.

I was wondering whether anyone lately has had to do the technical exams and perhaps can give incite on what is expected? Is the airframe exam still helicopter heavy?

I have the jeppesen textbooks along with the asa test guides for 2011 as well as "Aircraft Powerplants" by Kroes and Wild. Is this sufficient study material or should I invest in some more reference material?

Thanks

[nekuprocrast]

hey!
i am also preparing for my ame.m tech exam. and i have this ASA test guide 2009.
what can you say about this reviewer. will this help me pass TC's exam?

[Abdu]
