DGCA Technical General

DGCA Technical General — master the syllabus and pass, with topic-wise practice and a live dashboard.

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.
