This review is from: Aviation Maintenance Management (Paperback)

This textbook is for a very specialized subject, Aviation Maintenance Management. The author has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field and shares that throughout the book. The book is mainly geared toward civil aviation maintenance management and in particular the airlines. However, the information and explanations are detailed enough to cover the subject, yet easy to read. Tables and figures are placed appropriately in the text to reinforce learning. The book is organized logically and can be used by any professor to build a class curriculum around it. The appendixes add depth to material by discussing uncommon, but relevant subjects. Finally the author has well documented the text with references to the FAA Regulations, Advisory Circulars, and reports. In summary this is an excellent textbook for use in a classroom environment or as a stand alone book to further one's knowledge of Aviation Maintenance Management!!!!
