AIRCRAFT TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK: AIRFRAME & POWERPLANT

The Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook is the most up-to-date, highest quality, AND most economical General Textbook available. It is also the actual textbook from which all FAA knowledge test questions are based.

The FAA did a terrific job with this new generation Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook replacing the older AC65.9. It is now fully up to date, easily readable, well illustrated, and in full color. It is also the actual textbook from which all FAA knowledge test questions are derived.

Revision ATB corrects 56 technical errors identified by Aircraft Technical Book Company in partnership with the five Part 147 A&P colleges listed below, thus making it the finest, most current, and most accurate textbook available to learn from and teach from. It is also considerably less expensive than the uncorrected editions from other publishers.

• Redstone College
  
• Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics
  
• Robert C. Byrd Aerospace Center

This book was developed as the first of three volumes for persons preparing for A&P mechanic certification with an airframe and/or powerplant rating.

This General volume covers mathematics, aircraft drawings, weight and balance, aircraft materials, processes and tools, physics, electricity, inspection, ground operations, and FAA regulations governing the certification and work of maintenance technicians. New to this edition is a section addressing how successful AMTs incorporate knowledge and awareness of ethics, professionalism, and human factors in the field.

Finally, Aircraft Technical Book Company offers full instructor's support for this General textbook and the upcoming Airframe and Powerplant Textbooks being released in late 2010 including workbooks for students and free image banks for instructors who teach with this series.
