Chapter 1 Safety, Ground Operations and Servicing Shop safety, PPE, hazardous materials, fire protection, flight line safety, and ground servicing procedures.
Chapter 2 Maintenance Publications, Forms, and Records The regulatory framework and documentation systems every AMT operates within — 14 CFR, AFA forms, and technical publications.
Chapter 3 Mathematics The mathematical foundation an AMT uses daily — from fraction-to-decimal conversion to weight and balance moments.
Chapter 4 Aircraft Physics The physical laws — from Bernoulli's principle to Pascal's law — that explain how an aircraft flies and how its systems work.
Chapter 5 Basic Electricity Circuit fundamentals and the components behind modern, increasingly electric aircraft systems.
Chapter 6 Aircraft Weight and Balance Keeping an aircraft's center of gravity within certified limits — a safety-critical calculation after any maintenance affecting weight.
Chapter 7 Aircraft Materials, Hardware, and Processes Metals, fasteners, and inspection methods that make up an aircraft's physical structure.
Chapter 8 Cleaning and Corrosion Control Recognizing and preventing the gradual structural damage caused by corrosion.
Chapter 9 Fluid Lines and Fittings The rigid and flexible plumbing that carries fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, and oxygen throughout an aircraft.
Chapter 10 Inspection Concepts and Techniques The systematic methods used to determine and document an aircraft's airworthiness.
Chapter 11 Human Factors Understanding the human element in maintenance error, and how to build a safety culture that reduces it.
Chapter 12 Regulation and Privileges A closer look at the certification, privileges, and professional responsibilities that come with an A&P certificate.
