This review is from: Aviation Maintenance Technician--General (Aviation Maintenance Technician Series) (Paperback)

This book was a required purchase four our A&P classes. I found too many errors, but most disturbing was the brevity with which the book treated many subjects. Our classes always had to supplement this book with other author's works. Not that I expect one book to cover everything, but the brevity was glaring on many subjects.

This book is easy to read and reference. The diagrams are professionally done and are in color for easier understanding. This book is better purchased with appropriate the General Test Guide.
