4.0 out of 5 stars Aircraft Electricity & Electronics, March 5, 2001

By 

John Cotter (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aircraft Electricity and Electronics (Glencoe Aviation Technology Series) (Paperback)

I believe this text to be the most comprehensive reference available on basic electricity, electrical & electronic systems and avionics. When I need information about an electrical system or component it is the first place I look.

The scope and detail of the text vastly exceeds that of any of the other A&P "textbooks". The text is not written at a fourth grade level like the other textbooks. If remedial instruction is your objective, this is not the textbook for you. If, however, your objective is quality instruction on basic electricity, electrical systems, and present day avionics systems this comprehensive text is vastly superior to others I have examined.

In the A&P and advanced maintenance curriculum at the university where I teach, this text is used as a reference in five different courses. This text is the one you want to "hold on to" as a reference for your future maintenance activities.

The only flaw in the text I perceive is given the rapid pace of adoption of new electronics and computer equipment in the aviation industry, the text will soon need revision to remain current.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough specific, somewhat outdated, June 19, 2000

By 

"lminati" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aircraft Electricity and Electronics (Glencoe Aviation Technology Series) (Paperback)

If your knowledge in electronics and avionics is very little and you look for an easy introduction this book is for you. But if you are an engineer and you are looking for a specific reference, this book is definitively NOT for you. Of 400 pages, almost 300 cover general subjects in electronics, and only 100 are specifically about high level avionics. It includes new standards such as ARINC629, but still describes very old devices and techniques no longer used in commercial airliners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Aircraft Mechanic Should Own This Book!, February 23, 2001

By 

Matthew Kellison (Monticello, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Aircraft Electricity and Electronics (Glencoe Aviation Technology Series) (Paperback)

This book covers the entire gamut of aircraft electrical systems; from basic theory and fundamentals to complex avionics (comms/nav/autoflight). Especially useful as a reference for digital electronic systems. A must for anyone studying or working on aircraft. Packed full of diagrams, this book is without a doubt the single most useful text written about aircraft electrical and avionics systems. As an A&P mechanic, this one is constantly being pulled off of my bookshelf.
