Aviation Mechanic Handbook

[Aviation Mechanic Handbook]
View Table of Contents! 		ASA's pocket handbook is a convenient, fully-indexed reference for aircraft maintenance technicians. It is small enough to fit in one's pocket or toolbox, yet it's packed with technical "look-up" information for the technician. It is filled with tables of useful data, for everything from fasteners to fluid lines to aircraft marshalling signals.

A core reference for mechanics, aircraft owners, and pilots, the Aviation Mechanic Handbook compiles specs from stacks of reference books and government publications into a handy, toolbox-size reference guide. With all the information critical to maintaining an aircraft, this book is a single source for:

  • aviation mathematics, conversions, and formulas
  • aircraft nomenclature, controls, and system specs
  • aircraft structures and materials including new composite and battery sections
  • material and tool identifications
  • hardware sizes and equivalents
  • metal fabrication and fabric covering techniques
  • inspections, corrosion detection and control
  • the most frequently used measurements, scales, charts, diagrams...and much more
This new Fourth Edition features additional information on the latest techniques in the industry, including a section dedicated to composite materials, and one on aircraft batteries as well. The Aviation Mechanic Handbook provides comprehensive charts and graphs of the periodic table of elements, hydraulic fittings guide, a color engine spark plug guide, and even an aircraft tire guide.

Particularly popular with flight schools, A&P schools, repair shops, and aviation manufacturers, this book is the perfect addition to a student kit or new-employee orientation program! Aviation Mechanic Handbook, Fourth Edition is a companion volume to ASA's Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms. The two books are the core of ASA's training materials for aircraft mechanics.

Includes index, color illustrations, tabs to facilitate quick lookups, and a stay-flat flexible spiral binding that's easy on all surfaces for on-the-job referencing. Softcover, spiral-bound, 7" x 4-1/2", 356 pages.
