What is included in Technical General?

Ans:-

In the DGCA CPL exam syllabus the subject Technical General plays a very important role. It teaches you how an aircraft works what its parts are how they perform and what happens during different flight conditions. If you study this well, you gain confidence not only to pass exams but also to deal with real situations in flying.

Here’s what Technical General generally includes according to the CPL DGCA syllabus and exam pattern:

Aircraft Structures & Materials: You learn about the frame of the aircraft the wings fuselage, how they are made, what materials are used (aluminium composites etc.) and how structure affects strength weight, and performance.
Aerodynamics & Principles of Flight: Topics like lift drag how wings generate lift angles of attack different airspeeds (indicated calibrated true) stall stability what happens when you change controls.
Powerplants & Engines: Types of engines (piston turbine jet etc.) how they produce thrust fuel system how engine power is maintained cooling exhaust how propellers work etc.
Aircraft Systems: Electrical systems hydraulic systems pneumatic systems landing gear braking systems fuel & oil systems cabin pressurisation and air conditioning fire detection & extinguishing systems.
Flight Instruments & Avionics: How the instruments work (altimeter airspeed indicator attitude indicator VSI etc.) what avionics means basics of navigation aids related to aircraft instruments.
Limitations Performance & Other Safety related Systems: Understanding what the aircraft can and cannot do (speed weight limits) safety devices (fire safety backup systems) emergency procedures. While some parts overlap with Technical Specific you still need this general grounding.

The exam pattern for Technical General under the CPL syllabus DGCA exam includes multiple choice questions (MCQs) testing theory It is one of the core CPL exam subjects in DGCA syllabus for CPL along with Air Navigation Air Regulation Meteorology Technical Specific and RTR.

If you study these topics clearly using diagrams and understanding practical working of systems Technical General becomes not only manageable but enjoyable. This subject helps you operate aircraft safely and respond well to technical issues during your flying training and future career.
