This review is from: Aviation Mechanic Handbook (Spiral-bound)
Better than expected. I ordered this book because, as a former A&P mechanic, I used to have one. I lost it over the years and have regreted it since. I saw this book and had to have it, the formulas, conversions, and numerous resources available in this book are priceless. It arrived very quickly and in excellent shape at a fraction of the cost of an Aviation Based book store. I am very happy with this purchase and the experience associated with it.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Toolbox Reference,
By Steve Dietrich (Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Monica CA, United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Aviation Mechanic Handbook (Spiral-bound)
Great toolbox, hangar or library reference for the new A&E, kit builder or owner doing permitted maintenance. Lots of information that might get overlooked by the kit builder or owner doing maintenance. Also helps to understand the why's of professional maintenance. Lots of data sheets for stuff like bolt grade, bolt length etc. Section on electrical systems is also great. ASA consistently does a great job of getting useful information into the brain of the pilot, CFI or mechanic. Some of the materials are created for ASA and others like Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators are reprints of the best few government publications. Well worth its nominal price and weight. Pocket size helps as does the reasonably sized print.
