Module 16 Piston Engine: B1 Aircraft Maintenance Manual

Module 16 · B1 · 16 syllabus subjects

Executive overview

Module 16, Piston engine, asks candidates to master reciprocating engine theory and construction: cycles, mixture and fuel metering, ignition, lubrication, cooling, induction and exhaust. It is pitched at B1 depth, the mechanical and powerplant route to certifying staff privileges, so every chapter of this study manual is selected for B1 candidates and nothing is padded with content outside your category.

The edition maps to 16 syllabus subjects of Regulation (EU) 2023/989, Part-66 Appendix I: 1 at Level 1, 14 at Level 2, 1 at Level 3. That split tells you where to spend your hours, since Level 3 subjects are examined in the greatest depth.

Study it alongside the Quiz Engine: each syllabus reference in this manual is a Quiz Competency, so you can practise one subject at a time, then run a timed simulation of the Module 16 examination. Your Online Senior Instructor uses the same references to send you back to the right chapter.

How it helps you pass the exam

  • After the manual you can explain the four-stroke cycle and valve timing, diagnose mixture and ignition problems from symptoms and describe lubrication, cooling and supercharging.
  • It confronts the classic stumbling block head on: timing and mixture calculations.
  • Expect component-function questions and short numerical items; the chapter order follows the syllabus so you can tick subjects off as you go.

Competencies targeted (EASA Part-66 syllabus)
