Syllabus overview

What this subject covers.

Principles of Flight: lift, drag, thrust & weight
Stability, control surfaces & stalling
Airframe & hydraulic systems
Piston & turbine engine fundamentals
Propellers & powerplant performance
Electrical systems & instrumentation basics
Fuel systems & icing protection
Performance & limitations basics
Exam strategy

Why it's tested & common exam traps.

Technical General blends conceptual physics with system-specific facts, so DGCA questions often test whether you can apply a principle (like the four forces of flight) to a slightly unfamiliar scenario rather than just recall a definition.

Common traps: confusing the four forces' relationships during climbs/descents, mixing up how different engine types (piston vs turbine) respond to altitude and temperature, and misremembering which system (hydraulic vs electrical vs pneumatic) powers which component.

Which force lifts an aeroplane up into the air?
Lift is the upward force generated mainly by the wings as air flows over them, opposing the aircraft's weight — one of the four fundamental forces of flight.

Questions about Technical General classes

How should I choose the technical topics to revise?
Compare the outline above with your exam plan and ask the instructor to identify the relevant topics and prerequisite knowledge. Use diagrams, worked examples and practice tasks alongside the theory.
Can I explore the learning resources first?
Read the related learning guide and explore the public 3D learning resources. These are learning samples; a coaching offer or appointment is confirmed separately by the team.
How do I confirm the schedule, instructor and fees?
Enquire about Technical General with your preparation goal and preferred format. Ask for the current timetable, duration, instructor details, prerequisites, inclusions and fees before enrolling.
