This book will help prepare you for a successful aviation maintenance career. It gives a good 'insider's' perspective of the aviation maintenance industry that most would have to work in the industry to get. It sums up what 'good' mechanics should know about their profession.

Chapters include: Tools and and how to use them -- Materials and fabricating -- Drilling and countersinking -- Riveting -- Bolts and threaded fasteners -- Aircraft plumbing -- Control cables -- Electrical wiring and installation -- Aircraft drawings -- Nondestructive testing (NDT) or Nondestructive inspection (NDI) -- Corrosion detection and control -- Composites -- Standard parts.

Chapters include: Basic aerodynamics -- Metallic aircraft structures -- Nonmetallic aircraft structures -- Assembly and rigging -- Hydraulic and pneumatiac power systems -- Aircraft landing gear systems.

Covers the first section of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) curriculum for aviation maintenance training, with an introduction to aviation and basic lessons in mathematics, physics, and electricity. Progresses to specific aviation concerns such as regulations, mechanic privileges, forms, aircraft hardware, and tools.

A reference for mechanics, aircraft owners, and pilots. All the information critical to maintaining an aircraft. Your single source for: mathematics, conversions, formulas; aircraft nomenclature, controls, system specs; material and tool identifications; hardware sizes and equivalents; inspections, corrosion detection and control; frequently used scales, charts, diagrams, and much more.

Provides all of the up-to-date information needed to perform return-to-service-quality aircraft maintenance and pass FAA Certification.

Full updated for the latest technological advances, this comprehensive text describes design concepts, FAA certification requirements, and aerospace-quality maintenance and repair techniques for aircraft electrical and electronics systems. The materials contained in this book will benefit designers, engineers, and technicians for all aircraft and aerospace vehicles. The requirements for the FAA Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic certification are also presented.

Fully revised to cover the latest industry advances, Aircraft Powerplants, Eighth Edition, prepares you for certification as an FAA powerplant technician in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). This authoritative text has been updated to reflect recent changes in FAR Part 147.

This volume of the series emphasizes theory and methods of practical application within the overall topic of the powerplant of an aircraft: the aircraft engine and the powerplant-related aircraft maintenance principles, fundamentals, and technical procedures.

Detailing the technical maintenance of turbine and reciprocating engines, this book covers the final section of the FAA's required curriculum for aviation maintenance technicians.
