4.0 out of 5 stars
Aircraft electrical systems explained by an expert.,
By John Cox (Dunedin, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aircraft Electrical Systems (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is an authoritative course book for students working toward an Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Licence.E.H.J.Pallett has wide experience as a professional aeronautical engineer,training instructor,and surveyor in airworthiness requirements with the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority. As he takes you through the basics of electrical systems, the complexity of these essential but hidden parts of the aircraft becomes apparent. The layout is good, the diagrams are clearly labelled, and the circuits are shown as simply as possible. The overall effect is to place the reader in touch with the electrical systems of the modern aircraft.
