Maintaining the ME major for maintenance personnel, I have worked for five years and applied for the FAA license exam. Does anyone know about the textbooks and question bank?

Hello, the poster, we are all maintenance personnel. I think back then I was working for an airline in the capital city that was in dire straits in China. Hey, I cry when I remember it. Back to business:

About the textbook:

The current FAA license examination standard textbook is written by Dale Crane's (FAA's most senior senior mechanical engineer) and is divided into three subjects. POWERPLANT (engine, the current version just updated in 2012 is the third version. It has been the second version before. The engine technology update is relatively slow, so it was not updated until this year). General (basic regulatory knowledge, the latest edition is the third edition), AIRFRAME (airframe, the latest edition is the third edition). This set of textbooks has review exercises after each chapter to consolidate the knowledge points in each chapter.

The FAA textbooks compiled by foreigners are different, they are in-depth and concise. A lot of knowledge learned at the undergraduate level in China is not needed at all in actual practice, but this textbook is very comprehensive. As a maintenance person, you may think the knowledge points are very simple at first, but this is the characteristic of the textbook, it is in-depth and easy to understand; At the same time, many of the world's first-class technologies and fault cases in the aviation machinery industry are analyzed and introduced. I have always believed that this set of textbooks can be regarded as a set of "Sunflower Collection" that we treasure. Not only is it useful for the FAA license exam, it will also be valuable as a reference book in the future.

About the question bank:

The question bank corresponds to the textbook and is also divided into three subjects:

Powerplant I*** has 1,000 questions

General One*** is nearly 800 questions

Airframe one*** is nearly 1,000 questions

The three subjects combine 2700-800 questions. I forgot the specific number, but domestic If my peers are taking the FAA license exam, I strongly recommend that you buy this set of questions and read them. This is why the so-called memorization of the questions must also be memorized.

I asked my master about the question bank (my master is the chief engineer of the company and was specially hired by the FAA to be the examiner of the A&P license examination). At the end of August 2012, it was just updated to the 2013 version.

It is recommended to read the latest version of the question bank, but since the question bank is updated every year, and the amount of updates is not large (less than 10 questions are updated every year, I only updated 5 questions that year, the exam I haven’t taken the test yet.), so just have a set in hand and look at it.

Regarding the purchase of domestic FAA Aamp; ), although his version is a printed version (the earliest in China and the only seller I have found that sells FAA textbooks and question banks, it has been two or three years, and I have bought them all from him), (not the original version, the price of the original book is plus The price of mailing it back to China is more than 2500 RMB) but it will not affect the learning effect. It is also known as the question bank is updated for free for life.

About the exam:

The FAA license exam is divided into three forms:

Written exam; it tests the three subjects mentioned above. (It is very important, because if you fail the written test, you will not be able to enter the next round of exams)

Oral test: about 20 items, each with 4-5 knowledge points, lasting 3-4 hours of question-by-question Answer form.

Practical operation: This is no problem for anyone who has worked before. It lasts about 8 hours. Make a repair plan for the fault and write a maintenance record; troubleshoot and write a troubleshooting record. That’s it. Scores will be given on site. You’ll know it without ever being there.

About employment (personal opinion):

If you have to say that you will be promoted to an immortal with an FAA license, this is completely nonsense, but at the critical moment (promotion, finding a job) there are advantages It's so obvious, you know it even without telling me.

Secondly, this is a stepping stone to enter a foreign airline. As I said before, I worked as a slave for a domestic airline for 5 years and then jumped to a foreign airline (thanks to the FAA license, but it is also a reflection of personal ability and good English skills. ) only then did I realize that aircraft maintenance could do this. It was a completely different realm.

Once again, immigration - this is an eternal passage. After all, the ship will go straight to the bridge. To become the technical backbone of a foreign airline, you only need one application, not three months, and you will have the permanent right of residence under the American Empire. It makes me happy just thinking about it...

Three words from the colleague who finally sent me the license test:

You can pass by just reading the questions without reading the book

Just If you read the book without reading the questions, you will definitely pass

If you read the book and read the questions, you will definitely pass

Horizontal comment: Can't pass?

The above ***, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Also, if you see other people asking, don’t save it alone, copy my answer, it will be useful... It’s not in vain that I spent half an hour typing in front of the computer. There will be a skills competition tomorrow, so I won’t say more.
