Newly revised and updated with the latest information and illustrations. Introduction to Aircraft Maintenance is one of the most recent textbooks written by people involved in maintenance and teaching; specifically for the AMT or A&P student.
This is the first of the four series textbooks written for Avotek. Designed from the beginning for the learning styles of today’s students. The material is presented in a visual format that groups information, color illustrations and photographs.
Covering everything from Aircraft Inspections to Mathematics, Introduction to Aircraft Maintenance does more than just meet the minimum requirements for 14 CFR part 147 schools; it relates to actual application and situations in use by the maintenance industry.
