Study Guide
Complete Guide to AME Exam Preparation
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is one of the most technical and responsible careers in aviation. To become a licensed AME under DGCA CAR-66 or EASA Part-66, candidates must clear multiple modules covering subjects such as aerodynamics, electrical systems, materials, and maintenance practices. Each module tests both theoretical knowledge and practical understanding — passing requires disciplined, structured preparation over several months.
Use a short practice session to identify a topic that needs attention. Read the relevant lesson, explain the principle in your own words, then work through a fresh example. Keep a record of why an answer was wrong so your next revision session addresses the underlying concept.
With consistent practice and the right study approach, candidates can significantly improve their chances of passing the exams and building a successful career in aviation maintenance. The platform tracks your progress across all 14 modules simultaneously, so you always know where to focus next. Learn more about us and how we built this platform.
What is Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME)?
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a licensed profession responsible for ensuring the safety and airworthiness of aircraft. Engineers certified under DGCA CAR-66 or EASA Part-66 regulations inspect, maintain, and certify aircraft before every flight operation. The licence is issued only after candidates pass a series of rigorous technical module examinations and complete approved practical training — making it one of the most demanding professional qualifications in civil aviation.
The AME syllabus spans 14 technical modules including aerodynamics, electrical fundamentals, digital techniques, materials and hardware, human factors, maintenance practices, gas turbine engines, and aviation legislation. Each module must be passed individually with a minimum score of 75%. Candidates who approach preparation without structure often spend years re-sitting modules — which is exactly the problem AlwaysAME was built to solve.
AlwaysAME helps students prepare through structured mock exams, module-wise question banks, performance analytics, and real exam-style questions designed specifically for DGCA CAR-66 and EASA Part-66 licensing standards — all completely free. Learn more about the platform →

How AlwaysAME Helps You Clear DGCA CAR-66
A useful study plan connects the syllabus, your reading and your practice results. Start by listing the topics required for your intended category. Mark each topic as new, partly understood or ready for revision. This produces a practical weekly plan instead of a long list of chapters with no clear priority.
Choose one learning objective per session
For a calculation topic, write the quantities and units before choosing a formula. For a system topic, draw the main components and trace the flow of power, signals or fluid. For a regulation topic, keep the issuing authority and document revision beside your notes. These habits make your understanding easier to check.
Review errors before repeating a test
Sort errors into three groups: a missing concept, an incorrect calculation, or a misread question. Read the lesson for the first group, redo the working for the second, and identify the wording you missed for the third. Repeating a memorised question immediately can inflate your score without improving your knowledge.
Use timed practice after building understanding
Begin with untimed questions when a topic is new. Once you can explain your answers, use timed sessions to practise attention and pacing. Mix topics and use different examples. A practice result is feedback for revision, rather than a prediction of your official examination result.
Keep official requirements beside your plan
Required modules and examination arrangements depend on your category and route. Check the current DGCA publications or EASA publications and confirm questions with your training provider. Use our module courses and public articles to support that plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common AME Questions, Answered
Everything aspiring aircraft engineers ask us about licences, modules, careers, and how AlwaysAME works.
Is AlwaysAME really free? What's the catch?
Yes — every mock test, module, book link, and news article on AlwaysAME is completely free for students. To keep the platform running, we show a limited number of advertisements through Google AdSense. We do not sell your data, there are no paid tiers, and there is no "premium" content locked behind a paywall.
What is the DGCA CAR-66 licence and how is it different from EASA Part-66?
DGCA CAR-66 is India's Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licensing regulation, published by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. It was originally harmonised with EASA Part-66 (the European equivalent), and the two frameworks share the same 14-module syllabus structure, the same B1/B2 licence categories, and very similar examination rules. The main differences are procedural: CAR-66 requires candidates to sit examinations at a DGCA Regional Air Safety (RAS) office, while EASA Part-66 examinations are conducted at approved training organisations across the EU.
How many modules do I need to clear to get my AME licence?
For a Category B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) licence you need Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7A, 8, 9A, 10, 11A, and 15 — a total of 12 modules. For B1.3 (Helicopter Turbine) you swap Module 11 for Module 12. For B2 (Avionics) you need Modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7B, 8, 9A, 10, 13, and 14. The module numbers and sub-module labels (A/B) can be confusing — always cross-check the latest DGCA CAR-66 Annexure I before booking your examinations.
What's the pass mark and how is the DGCA examination structured?
Check the current CAR-66 examination standard and booking guidance on the DGCA portal for your module and category. Confirm question count, duration, pass criteria and resit rules before booking. AlwaysAME practice sessions are revision tools and can differ from the official examination.
I'm not enrolled in an AME institute. Can I still sit the DGCA examinations?
Yes — DGCA offers two routes to the basic licence. The "institutional route" is through a CAR-147 approved Maintenance Training Organisation (MTO). The alternative is the "experience route", where you qualify by accumulating five years of recorded and verifiable maintenance experience on aircraft in civil aviation (three years if you already hold a relevant engineering degree). Both routes require you to sit the same module examinations — the only difference is how you become eligible to book them.
Are the questions on AlwaysAME the same as the real DGCA exam?
AlwaysAME is an independent educational study resource. Practice questions and summaries can contain errors and are not official examination questions. Compare study material with the current syllabus and authoritative references. Report a suspected error with the relevant source so it can be checked. Practice scores do not guarantee an examination result.
How long does it take to become a licensed AME in India?
Completion time depends on your category, training route, examination progress and practical experience. Build your timeline from the current DGCA requirements and your training provider\'s approved programme, rather than a promised completion date.
What is the salary of a licensed AME in India?
Pay varies with employer, role, authorisation, aircraft experience, location and contract terms. Compare current employer vacancies and actual offers. Do not treat a general online salary range as a guaranteed outcome of completing a course.
Do my progress and exam results stay private?
Study profiles and progress are stored in this browser. Clearing site storage removes these local records; logging out alone does not erase them. Google sign-in, hosting and external resources have their own data handling. Read our Privacy Policy for details.
How often is new content added?
Content is added and corrected as it is prepared. Follow the official authority for regulatory updates; publication here does not establish that a new rule is in force.
