The deck contains 354 General O&P cards. There are 324 ACS-coded content cards and 30 separately labeled exam-process cards. Each card includes a source note.
Your Airman Knowledge Test Report lists the ACS codes you missed. Use those codes to choose a starting stack, and answer each prompt before you turn the card over.
Mark the General ACS codes you missed. Every content card prints its code on the front.
Sort by subject and code. Keep the purple supplemental cards separate until you want to review how the test is administered.
Give your answer aloud. The back provides a direct answer, its source, and an explanation of why the topic is tested.
The FAA sizes your oral from your written score: a 4-question minimum, plus one question for each missed ACS code. Set your General written score below:
Sizing rule per FAA Order 8900.1 Vol 5 Ch 5 Sec 11: the General written is 60 questions, the oral has a 4-question minimum, and one question is added per missed ACS code (worst case assumes every miss is a different code). Your AKTR lists the missed codes, and every ACS-content card prints its code on the front. The X cards are supplemental and are not included in that sort.
The MTG generates your test through FAA-S-ACS-1 elements with answers keyed to source material. Each ACS-content card carries its task code; each supplemental X card is labeled as outside the ACS map. Every card includes a source note.
Your written test report lists the ACS codes you missed, and your oral gets one extra question for each one. Every ACS-content card shows its code on the front, so you can pull a stack that matches your report. The supplemental X cards stay separate and explain the testing process.
Each card points to its source, such as an FAA handbook chapter, 14 CFR section, advisory circular, or exam order. That makes the answer auditable and keeps the July 2026 edition tied to a documented source set.
30 supplemental cards explain question sizing, the 30-percent stop rule, retest scope, session limits, and paperwork. Each card distinguishes FAA requirements from field-reported or editorial guidance.
These scenario cards make you explain the hazard, the decision, and the safe next action instead of memorizing a one-line definition. They are kept distinct from Knowledge and Practical Prep cards.
Every answer leads with the direct response, turns lists into spoken checklists, and ends with why the topic matters. The format helps you practice recalling an answer instead of recognizing it on a page.
These cards use the same questions, answers, source notes, and labels as the paid files. Tap a card to flip it. Arrow, Enter, and Space keys also work.
These links open the public FAA and eCFR material used for three examples on the cards.
Books, apps, and free FAA material can all help. This comparison explains the workflow this deck is specifically designed to add.

No. The Mechanic Test Generator builds each applicant's exam individually. This deck organizes General study around the ACS and authoritative source documents; it does not claim to reproduce a generated test.
This purchase is digital. It includes a duplex print-at-home file. A manufactured boxed edition will be considered only after demand, proof quality, and economics are validated.
No. It is an independent study aid. The ACS, regulations, FAA handbooks, and your instructor remain the authority. Each card includes a source note so you can verify the material.
Start with your knowledge test report: it lists the ACS codes you missed, and your oral gets one extra question per missed code. Pull those cards first. Then run the deck in Leitner rotation (the included guide shows how), and finish with the Exam Mechanics section the week before test day.
