Students choosing to test for the General certification prior to completion of the Airframe or Powerplant section should be aware:

  1. To qualify to take the AMG written test, a student must have passed all components of the curriculum in the General (Air Science) curriculum.
  2. If applicable, before retesting after a failed AMG written test, the student must either:
    1. Undergo additional instruction by an airman (such as a faculty or staff member at the school) holding an FAA mechanic certificate on code specific instructional items associated with the previous test, or
    2. Wait thirty (30) days to retest.

If additional instruction is successfully completed with a school instructor, the student will receive an approval form certifying that the student has been provided with additional instruction for each subject failed on the AMG written test and that the instructor considers the student ready for retesting.
