Your second studying strategy works best for me. 1. Study the answers in one section of the General, Airframe or Powerplant book. 2. After studying one section, I go to prepare app and take the practice test for that section. 3. If I get above a 90 for that section, I move on to the next section. If I dont get above a 90, I go back to step 1 to study more. Got my rotor wing private pilot license that way and it worked for me. Now I'm trying to get my A&P. Thank you man. Keep up the good work!
My Sergeant Major is a FSDO and signed my 8810. He says the FAA is now trying to switch answers more frequently to make you understand the material, and not just memorize answers. Appreciate your candor to remind us to understand the materials.
Studying for my general now! Failed once but my month is up today and I’m going to pass this time around!! Thank you for your inputs and opinions man they help a lot!!!
I got my A&P in April 2022, this is an introduction to aviation, School prepares you to work on heavy jets and prepares you to take the test. General aviation you will use most of it, but for the most of it, the company will ALWAYS teach you to do it their way. The book is nothing like the test, thats bullshit, you will see questions you NEVER EVER seen before, those questions will be common sense type questions so be logical in your decision making and keep in mind, the test will always be different the next time you take, the question bank for the test is getting larger and they are adding helicopters to it...Im glad I got done when I did, if you are testing hold on you will pop your top...
Thanks for this, I felt like giving up because I haven’t studied and I felt like the material was just going over my head. It’s hard balancing work, bills and school. I’ll figure it out.
I understand exactly where you coming from. It’s the same for me, but a couple 30 mins within verious times of the day I try to squeeze in any reading or prepware, at the very least watch UA-cam videos as well keep me on my game. Hopefully it can for you too. Good luck!
Appreciate your advice, I am currently in the A&P in Tennessee. SIX MONTHS remain and the Challenge is real in pursuit of becoming a licensed mechanic.
@@Avation.Experience happy to have found your channel. I'm starting AP class in August. I'm already a pilot and also own a Mooney m20G. I bought the jeppesen book and study guide. I read half of it and has been since last August lol. Aircraft fabrication section was a BITCH but the rest of the book has beern smooth sailing so far. Now the instructor calls and says hey we switching to ASA and now I'm like man I've read more than half of the book but I did see where jeppesen explains things the hard way on a lot of their subjects. I'm ordering the ASA tonight but I need to know what book you have in the class before I do. Actually that's how I found your channel searching for the book they use in class. If it's like an aerodynamic book talking about the plane and the sections of the planes and how they fly I may be ok because I've done that in ground school when I was studying for my private pilots licence. I got sooo many books man lol. I may already have it but the cover needs to look the same for me to feel comfortable lol. Anyways great job I been watching your videos and I'm seeing growth. Stay safe god bless. You got a new sub maybe one day I'll be flying to Philly. All the way from Mississippi....peace
I just finished general section. I got both Jeppesen and ASA and noticed both books have a few different answers for certain questions so you have to look out for that. I've heard ASA is better for the written tests and jeppesen works better for oral test. Android you have to buy the apps separate and it cost more, apple you can buy it in a bundle. Good info on the study tips keep it coming
@@leanturkey2480 Correct: Question pools are used so that practice tests do not have memorization as a strategy ○ Myself I am greatly more comfortable with a 500 page manual by the vendor of the brand or authorized alternate and figure it out myself then go look at what the books he is displaying say so that I get nuances right
Can you provide me with the link to the correct asa book so I can ordered it? I usually use prepware but failed today cuz some of the Qs and As on the written test wasn't on the prepware. Need a new source to study
@@MrJohnnyYang search for the asa 2021 or whatever current year, airframe (red book) general (blue book) powerplant ( green book). Look at the explanations to the answers also, sometimes they have good info to remember
Hi buddy, thanks for your time doing the video. I have a question, I saw you take the GENERAL first with your experience what do you thinks is the best way to take the second test AIRFRAME or POWERPLANT. Appreciate your time and I hope you respond for me.... Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴 in South America.... bless
Hey wassup and no prob 🙏🏽. So yes I took the general 1st than airframe only because my school classes were set up that way. Where I took general classes than airframe and last PowerPlant classes. I personally feel airframe was easier because in PowerPlant there’s to many was to reword engine theory
so im having trouble understanding where to look for information... like its asking for POH for aircrafts but it seems like i have to pay to look at them... also.. im lost as far as when to look at POH VS ATP VS TCDS.... and so forth.... anything can help me... really i hope that i make sense
What’s the score needed to pass the exam? I’m thinking of doing self-learning with online resources. I want to get into aviation, I’ve been applying for aircraft mechanic apprenticeships. But many of them require experience or a a&p license. Which I’m confused about, because it’s an entry level/apprentice beginner role, how would I already have experience or my a&p license? The process is annoying, I might just give up on applying at this point.
The score needed is 70% grant it you can study on your own read books n test guides like the one I did. And apprenticeships are rare I actually wanted one at some point in this process. But have you looked into any school to get you through the process ? I say enroll than start in some program than start applying for some apprenticeships should be way easier than
@@Avation.Experience is the exam out of 100 points? And I have been looking into the trade school route. But The aviation school in my state is expensive. I don’t want to waste anymore of my parents money. So I was trying to seek cheaper options. But Ik the school in my state offers fin aid and scholarships. You think I could still apply for the scholarships even though I’ve never been in aviation?
You can try and work for a Part 145 repair station get the hours from there and be eligible to take the test. You’ll just may have to pay for the written etc yourself. And it will look better to have something aviation related but I feel there’s definitely some out there you can get. My school ran me 45k but personally I feel I’ll get out there get good pay with some increases n plan and pay that off quick ya know.
@@Avation.Experience thanks for the advice. You think it’s possible to get my a&p license online through a community college? Or should I do it though a a&p trade school?
Going the college route takes about 4 years I believe pros you’ll get a degree in aviation but the trade school route will have you done within 2yrs and you’ll get the license
Took my powerplant written today. Been using prepware software to studied but got a 66% on it and failed. I really don't like how the FAA would reword some of the qs and As and add a few questions that wasn't even on the prepware. Feeling kind of bummed out but know I know that I need to studied smart and not hard. Thank you for the video!!!
@@Avation.Experience yes I am! Im rescheduled to take my powerplant written in one month so I've been reading the explanation and going to order me the ASA 8083 study guide to help me out also
In the process of scheduling my General now after passing comps. Finishing Powerplant this semester and airframe by the end of the year. Wish me luck lol
Hey. Just started I'm In general. I purchased dauntless groundschool and also have prepware general, powerplant and airframe. I also have that general book you have in the video. What should be my main focus for studying and preparing myself for test, exams and my written. I find myself bouncing between programs and throws me off alil. What would would prefer I stick to and get to know.?
Nice, I would say stick one section in the book 1st before you start on your prepware. That way you can read and understand enough from the asa guide and test yourself on preware once you feel comfortable continue through the whole book your end goal is to test prepware and ace test mode. also check out king videos on your free time. Good luck!
I want to study for it. I don't want to go to school ( I don't want to add more loans on top of the ones I have) but if I study and pass it. That means I would have to have several hours of hands on training right?
Yes you’ll have to work at a repair station to get hands on experience. And tbh if you go to school you’ll be able to take your 1st test after 4 months. You will definitely be rewarded with a good career making good money to pay your loans tbh.
@@Avation.Experience thanks. How to find a location to take the test. I always go by Elon musk quote. " You don't need to go to college to get educate" it true everything online or if you motivated you can find or do it myself if you open a book/UA-cam.
Hello 😁, From my research, I can see that the Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) is a certification, not a degree. If I would like to study the whole degree, for example, to learn how to program a computer, I would go on the field of Computer science, there I could get my Bachelor of science, Master and even a PHD. If I would like to follow the same concept but for being a the same career as you, in what field or program would I apply for?
If you want a bachelors related to this field there’s an AME program at Purdue university but you still NEED this license to touch any US registered aircraft
Yeah definitely & I would just keep up to date with the most recent test guides and hit the Faa and take their sample test on the psi site. You might come across new questions
Get a general jeppeson test guide you can study that get a head start on what you will be learning withen the first few months of school & get the text book so you can read up on things you may not understand. Think of when you start school classes will only strengthen n clear up what you got a head start on. Good luck!
Bruh i downloaded the prepware app.It works for me but it doesn't give me the explanations tho so i was hoping if you'd direct me on how to get the General Test Book and also if you'd recommend me downloading the FAA A& P General Test Prep app coz it has explanations to the questions.Thankyou

im a former military avionics tech thats trying to transition to the A&P world, would anyone know if i should go straight to trade school to get the A&P or just study and take the tests to get it? thanks
you wont be able to just take the test to get it. while avionics experience is good, it doesn't prepare you in the FAA's eyes to work on airframe nor powerplant. if you don't want to go to school for it, you have to get yourself in an apprenticeship type of agreement with an aviation employer where they sign off on your on the job experience and say your qualify to take such and such exam. it's a longer way to go about like 24 months or something. if you go to school, its only 18 months.
@@davelee4706 you're welcome. Good luck on your journey. This is a great field and your avionics experience will give you a great edge over any other entry level a&p. The way of the future a&p is avionics and composites knowledge. But lol I'm only in my 2nd term of airframe, this is my opinion.
Highlight the right answers in these books don’t even read them just no them key words like “full monocoque strength equals skin”. But have a basic understanding of the text book stuff, do the whole jeppessen book 2 to 3 times, then do a few random Prepware test.
