Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Sky License, FAA A&P exam preparation, and how our AI-powered platform works.

What is Sky License?

Sky License is an AI-powered web application designed to help Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT) students and working mechanics prepare for the FAA A&P (Airframe & Powerplant) certification exams.

It covers the three FAA knowledge tests — General, Airframe, and Powerplant — with adaptive difficulty, real exam simulations, and detailed explanations.

Which FAA exams does Sky License cover?

Sky License covers all three FAA mechanic knowledge tests:

  • General — 60 questions, 2 hours
  • Airframe — 100 questions, 2 hours
  • Powerplant — 100 questions, 2 hours

Content is aligned with the FAA Aviation Mechanic Airman Certification Standards (ACS) — AM.I (General), AM.II (Airframe), and AM.III (Powerplant) — and references 14 CFR Parts 43, 65, and 91, FAA Form 337, Airworthiness Directives, and AC 43.13-1B.

How does the AI adaptive difficulty work?

Sky License adjusts question difficulty based on your performance:

  • Score 80% or higher on a set of questions → difficulty increases (EASY → MEDIUM → HARD)
  • Score below 50% → difficulty decreases

This ensures you are always studying at the right level to maximize learning efficiency.

Is Sky License available on mobile?

Sky License is a web application optimized for desktop and mobile browsers. You can study anywhere, anytime from your phone, tablet, or computer — no app download required. The responsive design adapts to any screen size.

What is the AI Tutor and how does it work?

The AI Tutor is an interactive chat feature that helps you understand difficult concepts. When you encounter a question you do not understand, you can ask the AI Tutor for a simplified explanation.

It uses AI to break down complex A&P topics — from 14 CFR regulations to turbine engine theory — into clear, digestible answers.

What plans are available?

Sky License offers four plans:

  • FREE — the first 2 modules of every category (General, Airframe & Powerplant)
  • PRO MONTHLY — $29.99 per month, full access to all three exams and features
  • PRO YEARLY — $99 per year (two months free vs Monthly)
  • LIFETIME — $199 one-time payment, permanent access to all current and future content

How many questions are in the question bank?

Sky License includes a comprehensive question bank of over 1,600 questions covering the General, Airframe, and Powerplant knowledge tests.

  • Scenario-based questions with FAA regulatory references (14 CFR Parts 43/65/91, AC 43.13-1B, FAA AMT Handbooks)
  • New questions regularly added and updated to stay aligned with the FAA Aviation Mechanic ACS

FREE users get the first 2 modules of every exam category, while paid subscribers unlock all chapters and timed exam simulations.

What is covered in the General exam?

The FAA General knowledge test (AM.I) covers the fundamentals every mechanic must master:

  • Basic electricity
  • Aircraft drawings
  • Weight & balance
  • Materials and processes
  • Physics and mathematics
  • FAA regulations (14 CFR Parts 43, 65, and 91)
  • Ground operation and servicing
  • Maintenance forms and records (including FAA Form 337 and Airworthiness Directives)

On Sky License, the General exam is included in the Free plan with all chapters and full explanations.

What is covered in the Airframe exam?

The FAA Airframe knowledge test (AM.II) covers airframe structures and systems:

  • Metallic and non-metallic structures
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic power systems
  • Landing gear
  • Flight controls
  • Fuel systems
  • Cabin atmosphere and pressurization
  • Fire protection
  • Aircraft electrical systems

Over 1,200 questions cover airframe repair, troubleshooting, and FAA regulatory requirements.

What is covered in the Powerplant exam?

The FAA Powerplant knowledge test (AM.III) covers engine theory, construction, and operation:

  • Reciprocating engines
  • Turbine engines
  • Propellers
  • Fuel metering and fuel systems
  • Ignition and starting systems
  • Lubrication, cooling, and exhaust
  • Engine electrical systems

Over 800 questions cover accepted maintenance practices per the FAA AMT Powerplant Handbook and AC 43.13-1B.

Do I need a separate certificate for General, Airframe, and Powerplant?

No — there is a single FAA mechanic certificate. "General" is not a rating; it is a knowledge test that every candidate must pass.

Airframe and Powerplant are the two ratings you can hold (most mechanics earn both, hence "A&P").

  • You may take the tests in any order
  • Most candidates start with General, then Airframe, then Powerplant

Sky License covers all three so you can study for the entire certificate on one platform.

Can I track my progress across exams?

Yes, Sky License provides detailed analytics to help you identify weak areas and focus your study time:

  • Accuracy by topic
  • Difficulty progression
  • Exam history
  • Performance trends

You can drill down to individual ACS subject areas.

How do I get started?

Getting started takes three steps:

  • Visit skylicense.cloud and create a free account
  • Choose the FREE plan to practice the first 2 modules of every exam category
  • Upgrade to PRO MONTHLY, PRO YEARLY, or LIFETIME when you are ready for all chapters and timed simulations
