About Aircraft General Knowledge and Structures

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The resources here sit in the Aviation Foundations and Principles of Flight strand of Aviation. They mix exam-style practice with topic-by-topic revision. Many are written for the general knowledge paper, and several mention PPL, ATPL or EASA ATPL.

  • Engines and systems: the flashcard deck agk 2 covers crank cases, camshafts, valve springs and detonation, while PPL Technical Practice 4 asks about valve lag, spark plug fouling and wet sump oil systems.
  • Materials and hardware: AVST100 - Metallurgical Terms covers tensile and shear strength, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, Monel, Inconel and titanium alloys. A further deck covers aluminium alloy designations. Materiales hadware 3 tests threads, rivet colours and wire insert repair.
  • Structure and gear: the Landing Gear mind map covers steering, braking, sensors and gear operation. There are also mind maps on riveting, solid rivet removal and the B777 structural composition.
  • Aircraft types: decks such as Aircraft Types and Aircraft Recognition help with identification.

Where to start

Begin with the structure basics: the Airplane Structure flashcards, then the mind maps on the parts of an aircraft. Move on to materials, then engines, then landing gear. Leave the mixed exam papers until you know the topics.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first to see how a topic fits together. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note what you miss. Return to the map or a flashcard deck for those gaps, and retake the quiz later.

Exam-style practice

The numbered AGK EXAM PREP and AGK PREP EXAM quizzes are a natural next step. AGK PREP EXAM 7 mixes questions on compass deviation, density altitude and standard temperatures, so it shows how broad the paper can be. Some resources are in Spanish, so check the language before you start.

Frequently asked questions

Which quiz should I try first?

If you want a feel for exam-style questions, open AGK PREP EXAM 7. It mixes compass deviation, density altitude and standard temperature questions. If you would rather go topic by topic, try Materiales hadware 3 for threads and rivets, or PPL Technical Practice 4 for engine and instrument questions.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps cover aircraft structure and types. You will find Landing Gear, 7.8 Riveting Mind Map, Solid Rivet Removal, B777 Structural Composition, Parts of an Aircraft and several maps on types of aircraft. They suit quick revision before you move on to quizzes.

Which levels and exams do these resources suit?

Most resources are aimed at university students and professional candidates. Exams mentioned among them are PPL, ATPL and EASA ATPL. Teachers can use the quizzes, maps and decks as ready-made material for classes or revision sessions.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Are there flashcards for aircraft recognition?

Yes. There are decks called Aircraft Recognition (CAT I), Aircraft Recognition (CAT II) and Aircraft Recognition (CAT III), plus a general Aircraft Recognition deck. The Aircraft Types deck lists aircraft such as the Fokker 100, PA-34 Seneca and Super King Air 350.

What if I cannot find my topic?

Look through the related titles first, since topics such as doors, hardware, propellers and landing gear each have their own decks or quizzes. If your topic is still missing, build your own quiz, mind map or flashcards. Some resources here are in Spanish, so check the language.
