What is the best approach to studying Technical General?
Technical General rewards understanding of how systems work over memorisation of facts. Study each system (hydraulic, electrical, pressurisation, etc.) by understanding its function, components, and failure modes — not just its definition. The DGCA tests application: what happens when a component fails, what does an abnormal reading indicate.
