This is one of the books I used during my college days. You can pass the A&P exam just by studying the sample questions repeatedly. This method, however, is a mere shortcut and you may become a certified A&P with poor knowledge.

As someone has said, "Don't learn the tricks of the trade. Instead, learn the trade". While your progress may appear slower than others during the earlier years, wait to see what happens in the next few years; you would be ahead by doing your homework rather than taking the short cut.

Anything worthwhile takes time, and I've witnessed that neither a corporate nor an individual who's progress is too fast would succeed.

This review is from: A&P Technician Powerplant Textbook (Paperback)

I remember my days as a student in Philadelphia training to become an aircraft mechanic in the '70's. We had interesting instructors but the most horrific text books. They resembled this one except ours did not have an index. It was a nightmare to find something when studying for a quiz, among other things. Jeppesen has performed a miracle by upgrading the text and including new diagrams , some with color. The cost may scare some away from ownership but the investment is worth it, for students or A&P mechanic wanabees.

Touche, Jeppesen!
