This Powerplant volume was developed as the third in a series of three handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification — those seeking an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Certificate, also called an A&P license. An effective text for both students and instructors, this handbook will also serve as an invaluable reference guide for already-certificated technicians who wish to improve their knowledge.

This FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 65-12A contains information on theory and construction of aircraft engines, induction and exhaust systems, fuel and fuel metering systems, ignition and electrical systems, starting systems, lubrication and cooling systems, propellers, engine removal and replacement, engine fire protection, and engine maintenance and operation.

The text includes black and white charts, tables, illustrations and photographs throughout, and an index. Soft cover, 8-3/8" x 10-7/8", 520 pages.
