Aviation Maintenance Technician: Airframe, Volume 1

Dale Crane

Description

The AMT series textbooks were created to set the pace for maintenance technician training and attain a level of quality that surpasses all other maintenance textbooks on the market. This is Volume 1 of Dale Crane's two-part Airframe textbook and details the subjects associated with aircraft structures including aerodynamics, and hydraulics and pneumatic systems as they relate to the landing gear. Both metallic and nonmetallic structures as well as assembly and rigging are covered in this volume.The curriculum meets 14 CFR Part 147 curriculum requirements, as well as prepares applicants for all subjects in the FAA Knowledge Exams. The textbooks are designed for at-home, classroom, or university-level training. They include colored charts, tables and illustrations throughout, in addition to an extensive glossary, index, and additional career information. A study guide is included within each textbook in the form of study question sections, with answer keys printed at the end of each chapter.

P REFACE

Aviation maintenance technology has undergone tremendous changes in the past decades. Modern aircraft, with their advanced engines, complex flight controls and environmental control systems, are some of the most sophisti- cated devices in use today, and these marvels of engineering must be main- tained by knowledgeable technicians. The Federal Aviation Administration, recognizing this new generation of aircraft, has updated the requirements for maintenance technicians and for the schools that provide their training. The FAA has also instituted an Aviation Maintenance Technician Awards Pro- gram to encourage technicians to update their training.

New technologies used in modern aircraft increase the importance of main- tenance technicians having a solid foundation in such basic subjects as math- ematics, physics, and electricity. TheAviation Maintenance Technician Se- rieshas been produced by ASA to provide the needed background informa- tion for this foundation and to introduce the reader to aircraft structures, powerplants, and systems.

These textbooks have been carefully designed to assist a person in preparing for FAA technician certification, and at the same time serve as valuable references for individuals working in the field. The subject matter is orga- nized into categories used by the FAA for the core curriculum in 14 CFR Part 147, Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools, and for the Subject Matter Knowledge Codes used in the written tests for technician certifica- tion. In some cases in the ASA series, these categories have been rearranged to provide a more logical progression of learning.

This textbook is part of the ASA series of coordinated maintenance tech- nician training materials. The series consists of theGeneral,Airframe, and Powerplanttextbooks with study questions, theFast-Track Test Guides for Aviation Mechanics, exam software for Aviation Maintenance Technician tests, theOral and Practical Exam Guide, theDictionary of Aeronautical Terms, and theAviation Mechanic Handbook.

To supplement this fundamental training material, ASA reprints the FAA Advisory Circulars AC 43.13-1B and 2AAcceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices — Aircraft Inspection, Repair, and Alteration, and semiannu- ally updated excerpts from the Federal Aviation Regulations that are appli- cable to the aviation maintenance technician.
