What Is Technical General in Pilot Training?
Technical General covers the mechanical, structural, and system-related aspects of an aircraft. This subject is essential for understanding what makes an airplane fly, how its systems operate, and how pilots can troubleshoot or prevent mechanical failures in real-world flight situations.
