The platform offers module-wise mock tests, curated study materials, performance analytics, and live aviation news — all in one place — to help candidates build the strong conceptual understanding that the exams demand.
The AME syllabus covers 14 technical modules including aerodynamics, electrical fundamentals, digital techniques, materials and hardware, human factors, maintenance practices, and aviation legislation. AlwaysAME simplifies preparation by structuring these modules into focused question sets, each calibrated to the 70% pass threshold of the actual DGCA examination. Every question is written against AMC1 Appendix II of CAR-66 and reviewed by a licensed engineer before publication.
Our goal is to make high-quality aviation education accessible to every student regardless of location or budget, and to improve first-attempt pass rates through consistent practice and guided self-assessment. AlwaysAME is free for all students and is sustained by non-intrusive Google AdSense advertising. Learn more about us →
Master Aircraft Maintenance Engineering with DGCA-aligned MCQ exams, progress tracking, study materials & aviation news — all in one cockpit.
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.
AlwaysAME helps students prepare effectively through structured mock tests, module-wise question banks, and performance tracking. Unlike scattered study resources spread across forums and photocopied notes, this platform provides a focused environment designed specifically for AME aspirants. Every question is written against the official DGCA CAR-66 syllabus, reviewed by licensed engineers, and presented in the same format as the actual examination.
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.
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 70%. 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 →

Clearing the DGCA CAR-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineering examinations is demanding work. The syllabus spans 14 modules covering everything from basic mathematics and physics to complex avionics, turbine engine theory, and aviation legislation. Most candidates take between 18 months and 3 years to complete all required modules, and industry pass rates hover around 35–45% on first attempt.
AlwaysAME is built specifically for Indian AME students preparing under the CAR-66 / EASA Part-66 framework. Every question on the platform is mapped to a specific sub-topic inside AMC1 Appendix II of CAR-66, so you always know which part of the syllabus you are practising. Our mock tests mirror the real exam in length, timing, and difficulty distribution — 75% pass mark, negative marking disabled (as per DGCA), and a mix of recall, comprehension, and calculation questions.
All 14 AME modules are represented in the question bank: Module 1 (Mathematics), Module 2 (Physics), Module 3 (Electrical Fundamentals), Module 4 (Electronic Fundamentals), Module 5 (Digital Techniques), Module 6 (Materials & Hardware), Module 7 (Maintenance Practices), Module 8 (Basic Aerodynamics), Module 9 (Human Factors), Module 10 (Aviation Legislation), Module 11 (Aeroplane Aerodynamics, Structures & Systems), Module 12 (Helicopter Aerodynamics, Structures & Systems), Module 13 (Aircraft Aerodynamics, Structures & Systems for B2) and Module 14 (Propulsion for B2). Each module has multiple question sets so you can re-test yourself until the material is comfortable.
Most successful candidates use a spaced-repetition approach: take one question set per module per day, review the answers you got wrong, read the relevant chapter in your reference book or the notes on this site, and retake the set two days later. Repeat until you are consistently scoring above 80% on every set — that typically translates to a comfortable pass in the real DGCA examination, where question difficulty and wording can vary from the practice material.
Alongside mock tests, our study library hosts links to the standard reference textbooks: Jeppesen A&P Technician General, Airframe, and Powerplant; Pallet's Aircraft Electrical Systems; Kroes & Wild's Aircraft Maintenance and Repair; and the official DGCA CAR series documents. The aviation news section keeps you informed on DGCA notifications, new airworthiness directives, fleet expansions by Indian carriers, and MRO industry developments that you may be asked about during oral examinations or job interviews.
AlwaysAME is designed for students enrolled in CAR-147 approved AME training institutes, self-study candidates who are working towards the DGCA basic licence by the experience route, EASA Part-66 candidates studying in India who plan to convert their licence, and experienced technicians preparing for category extension examinations. The material is written at the level expected for B1 (Mechanical) and B2 (Avionics) licence examinations and is regularly updated to reflect syllabus amendments issued by the DGCA.

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.
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.
The pass mark for all DGCA CAR-66 module examinations is 75%. Each module paper contains between 16 and 132 multiple-choice questions depending on the module size, with 75 seconds allowed per question (90 seconds per question for essay-type items in Module 7, 9, 10 and the aircraft-specific modules). There is no negative marking for wrong answers, so never leave a question blank. You are allowed to re-sit a failed module after a 90-day cooling-off period.
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.
No — DGCA does not publish its live question bank, and distributing real exam questions would be a breach of their examination rules. Our questions are written by AME graduates and reviewed against the official AMC1 Appendix II learning objectives, so the content coverage matches what the DGCA tests you on. The questions themselves are original, written in the same style and difficulty as the real examination.
Most AME students take between 2 and 4 years from enrolment to licence issue. This typically breaks down as 24 months of classroom training at a CAR-147 institute, 6–12 months of supervised practical experience at a CAR-145 MRO organisation, and an additional 3–6 months to clear all module examinations and complete the licence application. Faster candidates who self-study alongside full-time training can sometimes complete the module exams before finishing their practical experience.
Entry-level salaries for freshly licensed AMEs at Indian carriers typically fall between ₹4.5 LPA and ₹8 LPA in 2026, depending on the employer and location. Mid-career AMEs with 5–8 years of experience and multiple type ratings can earn between ₹12 LPA and ₹25 LPA. Senior certifying engineers at MRO organisations or those holding foreign licences (FAA, EASA) can earn ₹30 LPA or more. Base-station postings at metro cities usually pay more than line-station postings.

In-depth articles on exam strategy, module walkthroughs, career paths, and industry news — written by AME graduates for AME students.
AlwaysAME was built by AME graduates who experienced the frustration of scattered, expensive, or low-quality preparation resources first-hand. The existing landscape for DGCA AME candidates has long been dominated by photocopied question banks of dubious origin, expensive classroom coaching with no progress tracking, and reference materials that are either outdated or difficult to access.
We built AlwaysAME to be the resource we wished we had during our own preparation. Every question on the platform is original, written against the specific learning objectives in AMC1 Appendix II of CAR-66, and reviewed by at least one licensed engineer before publication. The study library curates only legally sourced, freely available reference materials. The aviation news section exists because the DGCA oral examination and job interview process increasingly tests whether candidates are aware of current industry developments — an AME who can discuss the latest regulatory changes, fleet expansion plans, or new airworthiness directives is considerably more employable.
Whether you are an institute student working through your first modules, an experienced technician preparing for category extension, or a recent licence-holder brushing up before a type-rating interview, AlwaysAME is structured around your needs. The dashboard tracks your progress across all 14 modules simultaneously, so you always know where you stand and where to focus next. The timed exam mode recreates the pressure of the real DGCA paper, helping candidates build the exam temperament that separates consistent passers from re-sitters.
AlwaysAME is and will remain free for students. The only revenue mechanism is non-intrusive Google AdSense display advertising. We do not accept sponsored placements, paid reviews, or advertorial content. Privacy is taken seriously — all exam progress and results are stored locally in your browser. We do not sell or share individual usage data. For full details, see our .
