Description
Aircraft Engineering Principles is the essential text for anyone studying for licensed A&P or Aircraft Maintenance Engineer status.
The book is written to meet the requirements of JAR-66/ECAR-66, the Joint Aviation Requirement (to be replaced by European Civil Aviation
Regulation) for all aircraft engineers within Europe, which is also being continuously harmonised with Federal Aviation Administation
requirements in the USA.
The book covers modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 of JAR-66/ECAR-66 in full and to a depth appropriate for Aircraft
Maintenance Certifying Technicians, and will also be a valuabe reference for those taking ab initio programmes in JAR-147/ECAR-147
and FAR-147. In addition, the necessary mathematics, aerodynamics and electrical principles have been included to meet the requirements
of introductory Aerospace Engineering courses. Numerous written and multiple choice questions are provided at the end of each chapter,
to aid learning.
Audience
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers including Airframe and Propulsion Mechanics, Certifying Mechanics, Technicians and Engineers and those
following JAR-66/ECAR-66 and related training programmes in the UK, Europe and US.
