These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 7 parts and 62 topics.
You've read the outline of CARs Part V three times. You close your notes...
...and you can't remember which Standard covers licensing and which one covers maintenance. It was just lines of text, one after another.
Here CARs Part V is one page: the Aeronautics Act at the top, the CARs under it, the Standards below, and the four subparts you use most, 566, 571, 573 and 593, each in its own box.
And on the pages next to it, each topic gets its own: the maintenance release, the journey log, airworthiness directives, elementary work and SDRs.
First you understand why it's built that way. Then the order comes back on its own.
The four exams, Regulations, Standard Practices, Airframe structures and systems, Electrical and instruments, Powerplant, and the final review for exam day: 66 pages, all drawn
Picture this:
Instead of rereading half a page on weight and balance without being able to picture it...
...you open the page and find the aircraft drawn with its datum, each weight with its arm and its moment, and the CG worked out in the same four steps every time.
And the maintenance release, safety wire, hydraulics, magnetos and the gas turbine turn into drawings and tables you can read at a glance.
You stop repeating and start understanding.
That's exactly what The AME Exam Sketchbook does. It's not another dense manual: it's 66 drawn pages in 7 parts, one topic per page, with the frequent mix-ups side by side and an exam day checklist at the end. Because what you see in order, you remember.
Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.
What each of the four M-rating exams covers, the path from basic training to licence, and how to study for a 70% pass mark.
Regulations without paragraphs: CARs Part V on one page, then who may sign a maintenance release and the wording, the journey log and records, ADs, elementary work, AMOs, SDRs and licence privileges, each on its own page, with a review at the end.
Bolts, nuts and washers, torque, safety wire, rivets, sheet metal, corrosion, composites, fluid lines, weight and balance, ground handling, NDT, the Dirty Dozen and a review.
Monocoque vs semi-monocoque, flight controls and cable tension, landing gear, wheels and brakes, hydraulics, pneumatics, pressurization, fuel, ice and rain, fire, oxygen and a review.
Ohm's law, lead-acid vs nickel-cadmium batteries, generators and the bus, wiring and bonding, pitot-static, gyros and engine instruments.
The four-stroke cycle, piston engine construction, magnetos, carburetors and fuel injection, lubrication, compression test, the gas turbine, turboprop and turbofan, hot starts, propellers, the governor, borescope and a review.
The frequent mix-ups side by side and an exam day checklist.
At the end of the book: A review page for each exam, the frequent mix-ups side by side and an exam day checklist.
Extra exam-style problems on weight and balance, Ohm's law, torque wrench extensions and unit conversions, each one worked step by step so you can check exactly where your answer went off.
Printable cards with the term on the front and a one-line definition plus a tiny sketch on the back, to review the vocabulary of all four exams in short breaks.

On the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) Part V, including Standard 571 (Maintenance), Standard 566 (AME Licensing) and Standard 625, and on Transport Canada's AME licensing information at tc.canada.ca, all summarized in our own words. Canadian rules and terminology only. Anything that depends on the aircraft, like torque values, limits or intervals, points you to the manufacturer's maintenance manual.
No. It's independent study material, not affiliated with or endorsed by Transport Canada, any AMO or any school. It doesn't give you a certificate and it doesn't count as approved training or experience toward your licence.
No. It doesn't replace your approved basic training, your on-the-job experience, the manufacturer's maintenance manual or the current CARs. It helps you review what you're learning and put it in order.
No. The exam-style problems in the book are written for this book and aren't official Transport Canada questions. The full practice exams for Regulations and Standard Practices are a separate, optional add-on you can choose at checkout.
Yes. It's a high-resolution PDF: print the whole book or just the pages you want to take to the hangar.
