First Sentence
The aircraft unceasingly depends on a collage of complex, interacting systems to get the pilot and passengers safely from one point to another, but if repetitive maintenance isn't performed as required, a critical system could fail, endangering the plane. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
I would recommend this book as an informative read for private pilot's,however CAA\JAA PPL's should treat with care and remember a little knowledge can be dangerous.
This book is not of much use to anyone holding a maintainence licence or wishing to hold one although reading will do no harm the text is aimed mainly at the weekend pilot and does not go into the depth required for the licenced engineer.

Good but could be better
10 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A better title for this book would be "Avionics systems for Pilots" or "An overview of aircraft radio systems". I am An Airframe and Powerplant mechanic and I had hoped that this book would assist me in troubleshooting Avionics problems but instead it only gives brief but detailed descriptions of the radios and how they operate. I would have loved a more in depth troubleshooting chart at each chapter and perhaps some more instalation and repair tips. I would recommend this book because there is nothing else out there that even comes close.. but I wish there was a second edition "Advanced Avionics Troubleshooting and repair"

Good Basic Tool For Pilots, Owners
8 April 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
For an aircraft owner or pilot this is a good basic tool to troubleshoot the most common problems while recognizing the symptoms. It also presents the accepted methods and techiniques of installation to avoid such problems. For the established professional avionics technician or aviation mechanic the book could go further. Therefore I rated the item four stars from the perspective as a pilot, owner.

Avionics Troubleshooting and Repair
2 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a FAA licensed A&P maintenance technician, I was expecting far more than the generic info that most A&P's receive with their training. Most of the content covered how the avionics worked. While there was some diagnostic/troubleshooting, it was at a very low level and did not go into much detail. There was a lot of text that could have been much more definitively explained with a flow chart. The normal repair info provided was to ship the possible defective unit back to the manufacturer for repair. In one word, what this book lacked is DETAIL!
In all fairness to the author, avionics diagnostics and repair is not an easy subject of cover. The cover says that the audience is for Pilots and Technicians. Having two diverse audiences is probably the problem. There is probably slightly more info than what is needed by the Pilot. However, the info is highly deficient for the Technician. This book is more of a Pilot book.
