This textbook covers the first section of the FAA's required curriculum and gives an introduction to aviation maintenance along with basic lessons on... mathematics, physics, and electricity. Containing up-to-date information that meets 14 CFR Part 147 requirements and Subject Matter Knowledge Codes from the FAA mechanics knowledge tests, this comprehensive book also covers specific aviation concerns such as mechanic privileges, forms, and aircraft hardware and tools. This revised edition comes complete with full-color illustrations, an extensive glossary, and additional career information, and is ideal for at-home, classroom, or university-level training.

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. Revision ATB corrects over 80 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.

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 2012, including workbooks for students and free image banks for instructors who teach with this series. The new 30 page Human Factors supplement - Chapter 14, mandatory as of October 1 by FAA and ICAO, is now included.

This workbook was published to be a study companion to the FAA H-8083-ATB General Handbook. It was developed by Tom Wild and Mike Leasure from Purdue... University as a further study tool and an A&P instructor's classroom aid for a General curiculla. Each chapter in the workbook matches those in the textbook with each including 3 sections: 1] Chapter Review Questions 2] Knowledge Application (practical) Questions 3] Final Chapter Exam Answers for sections 1 and 2 are published in the back of the book. Answers for section 3, Final Chapter Exam, are not published in the book, but are instead included for instructors along with the 8083-30 General Image Bank. (available free to instructors teaching with the 8083-30-ATB textbook) In addition, all pages in the workbook are perforated to allow the book to be used for assignments and quizzes.

This series is specifically tailored to provide the information necessary to prepare an applicant for FAA mechanic certification with airframe and/or... powerplant (A&P) ratings. These textbooks are designed for use by instructors and applicants preparing for the FAA Airframe Knowledge and Practical Exams, but also serve as an invaluable reference guide for certificated technicians who wish to improve their knowledge and practice. Chapter structure has been designed to ensure consistent and efficient internalization of the material presented. Photographs and detailed drawings illustrate concepts, improve understanding, and increase retention. This volume of the series emphasizes theory and methods of practical application within the overall topic of the airframe of an aircraft: how it is built, maintained, and repaired. It covers subjects such as airframe construction features, assembly and rigging, fabric covering, structural repairs, and aircraft welding. The specific topics addressed include Aircraft Structures, Aerodynamics, Aircraft Assembly and Rigging, Aircraft Fabric Covering, Aircraft Metal Structural Repair, Aircraft Welding, Aircraft Wood and Structural Repair, Advanced Composite Materials, Aircraft Painting and Finishing, and Aircraft Electrical Systems.
