How to choose and maintain your GA avionics. 12 Feb 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Maher explains what is the best way to install and maintain your general aviation avionics in an easy to read, understandeable way. Although he does succeed in doing this, as a European reader this book might not be your best buy since most (if not all) references are to American companies, standards and legislation.

Good Starter 2 April 2002

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I received this book along with the same author's publication
"Avionics Troubleshooting and Repair" seeking to gain the most information on avionics. The "Avionics Troubleshooting and Repair" appears to be a newer updated version of this same book although the titles are different. This earlier edition written in 1991, is more compact in both print and overall size. If I had to pick only one it would be the author's newest title mentioned above. The text is easier to read in the newest format. If you are seeking the most knowledge on the subject then both will serve well.
