Synopsis
The first volume in a definitive series of textbooks dedicated to aircraft engineering maintenance, this book provides a crucial outline of aircraft engineering principles. It is valuable for anyone pursuing a career in aircraft maintenance engineering or a related aerospace engineering discipline, and in particular will be suitable for those studying for licensed aircraft maintenance engineer status. The book systematically outlines modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 of JAR-66/Part-66, the Joint Aviation Requirement for aircraft engineers within Europe that are also being continuously harmonized with Federal Aviation Administration requirements in the USA.
•The perfect blend of academic and practical information for aircraft engineering maintenance
•Delivers the essential principles and knowledge needed by Aircraft Certifying Mechanics, Technicians and Engineers for JAR-66/Part-66 qualification
•Comprehensive and accessible, with self-test questions, exercises and multiple choice questions to enhance learning for both independent and tutor-assisted study
All the necessary mathematics, basic aerodynamics and electrical/electronic principles are examined in-depth, meeting the requirements of JAR-66/Part-66 modules, Aerospace Engineering City and Guilds modules, EDEXCEL National Units, elements of EDEXCEL Higher National Units, and a Foundation Degree in aircraft maintenance engineering or a related discipline. An introduction to the global aircraft maintenance industry, its career opportunities, legislative framework and safety culture, is all at the reader’s fingertips in this valuable and insightful text.
Lloyd Dingle is a chartered aeronautical engineer with over 25 years practical experience in the field of aircraft maintenance, specializing in aircraft structures and fluid power systems. He is currently a Lecturer at Farnborough College of Technology, UK.
Mike Tooley has over 30 years of experience of teaching electrical principles, electronics and avionics to engineers and technicians, previously as Head of Department of Engineering and Vice Principal at Brooklands College in Surrey, UK, and currently as a consultant and freelance technical author.
