Product Description
Product Description
The material covered includes the details necessary for the Federal Aviation Administration certification of Airframe and Powerplants Technicians. The text expands well beyond this basic information, however, providing as in-depth study of both ac and dc systems for virtually all varieties of aircraft. The text takes students throught the fundamentals of electron theory and on to the study of aircraft digital control systems. Integrated into the text are various examples of troubleshooting techniques as they apply to aircraft systems. The text also provides details on a variety of gernal and commericial aircraft electrical/electronic systems, including avionic systems. One of the major changes in this edition is the moderization of material about electrical and electronic equipment to reflect current practices. Coverage of transistors and semiconductors, lighting systems, and nickel cadmium batteries has been updated while troubleshooting techniques using digital and analog meters have been added.This edition includes a Student Study Guide that parallels the text. It provides fill-in-the-blank questions that identify key term, demonstrates appliations of mathematical relationships, and validates learning progress by offering multiple-choice questions. The Instructor's Manual provides answers to the review questions and transparency masters to help you illustrate key concepts.

Format:Paperback
Excellent for JAR 66 Modules 3,4,5 and 14. This book covers all relevant electrical systems and avionic systems including the basics of electrics and electronic components. It is also very detailed on maintenance practices (wiring practices, use of meters etc) so is good for module 7 also.

Aircraft Electricity & Electronics
5 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
I believe this text to be the most comprehensive reference available on basic electricity, electrical & electronic systems and avionics. When I need information about an electrical system or component it is the first place I look.
The scope and detail of the text vastly exceeds that of any of the other A&P "textbooks". The text is not written at a fourth grade level like the other textbooks. If remedial instruction is your objective, this is not the textbook for you. If, however, your objective is quality instruction on basic electricity, electrical systems, and present day avionics systems this comprehensive text is vastly superior to others I have examined.
In the A&P and advanced maintenance curriculum at the university where I teach, this text is used as a reference in five different courses. This text is the one you want to "hold on to" as a reference for your future maintenance activities.
The only flaw in the text I perceive is given the rapid pace of adoption of new electronics and computer equipment in the aviation industry, the text will soon need revision to remain current.

Not enough specific, somewhat outdated
19 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
If your knowledge in electronics and avionics is very little and you look for an easy introduction this book is for you. But if you are an engineer and you are looking for a specific reference, this book is definitively NOT for you. Of 400 pages, almost 300 cover general subjects in electronics, and only 100 are specifically about high level avionics. It includes new standards such as ARINC629, but still describes very old devices and techniques no longer used in commercial airliners.

Every Aircraft Mechanic Should Own This Book!
24 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
This book covers the entire gamut of aircraft electrical systems; from basic theory and fundamentals to complex avionics (comms/nav/autoflight). Especially useful as a reference for digital electronic systems. A must for anyone studying or working on aircraft. Packed full of diagrams, this book is without a doubt the single most useful text written about aircraft electrical and avionics systems. As an A&P mechanic, this one is constantly being pulled off of my bookshelf.
