CAA study material help!

[Jamowie48]

Hello
I am studying to take the CAA mechanics exams, I have been using the ASA Aviation Mechanic series books by Dale Crane along with some PDFs that I have been given by mechanics.
The books are obviously based on FAA standards, are these much different from CAA standards? The books have practice questions in them, I'm wondering how different the CAA questions would be?

Thanks in advanced
Also if anyone has any recommendations for any online companies for practice questions that would be helpful, there are a few, not sure which one to go for.

Kind regards

I've just been through the FAA process, but have been EASA & CAA licensed for +30 years. The FAA system is more General Aviation based and Digital systems and integrated avionics such as ATA Chapters 42, 44 & 46 are hardly mentioned. However, the books you mentioned are pretty good as purely basic system descriptions and a good starting point for where you are at. FAA AC 43.13 is also a pretty good source of info on "how to" do the job especially around repairs.
I would treat the questions purely as revision aids on how a system works. Pt.66 knowledge and standards are deeper and broader and more up to date

The guys I work with who are studying use club66 for questions and answers. You have to pay I think, but our company has a subscription for it.

I still have a set of CAIP's, a 21st birthday present in 1970, and kept them up to date until 1980 iss 23; before each license exam I would read the relevant leaflets in Part II.
I believe you can see them online.
In my first type oral, I was asked how to remove the tail-plane of a BAC1-11; of course I went down the road of read the MM- no say they, it is not in there, so down the slope I went :gain access remove panels etc etc
The examiner smiling (sort of) had seen it done at LGW, a first for a maintenance outfit, and so the local BAC Rep had been involved.
Nearly 40 years as a signing AME, hope you do the same.

Whilst on-line question banks such as Club 66 are useful, don't try and learn the questions parrot fashion. Over the years I've seen plenty of folks fail exams because they fail to learn the subjects properly and can't deal with subtle changes to the questions that the CAA regularly perform! Good luck!
