The Oral and Practical Exams are the last steps for the certification of an aviation mechanic. You will work one-on-one with a designated mechanic evaluator (DME) who will determine if you possess the knowledge, risk management, and skill level needed to be issued an FAA Aviation Mechanic Certificate. The Aviation Mechanic Oral & Practical Exam Guide will help you prepare for this significant step towards your new career.
The fifth edition of this book is designed to prepare aviation mechanic applicants to demonstrate their skill and understanding of the required elements outlined in the FAA airman certification standards (FAA-S-ACS-1). This complete resource includes information on the certification process and covers all the practical skills and required knowledge in a question-and-answer format, with references defined for further study.
