This Airframe volume was developed as the second 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) 65-15A contains information on aircraft structures and systems, including assembly and rigging, fabric covering, paint and finishing, structural repairs, welding, ice and rain protection, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems, and the systems for landing gear, fire protection, electrical, instrument, communications and navigation, and cabin atmosphere control.

The text includes black and white charts, tables, illustrations and photographs throughout, and an index. Soft cover, 8-3/8" x 10-7/8", 630 pages.
