Product Description

Aircraft Engineering Principles is the essential text for anyone studying for licensed A&P or Aircraft Maintenance Engineer status. The book is written to meet the requirements of JAR-66/ECAR-66, the Joint Aviation Requirement (to be replaced by European Civil Aviation Regulation) for all aircraft engineers within Europe, which is also being continuously harmonised with Federal Aviation Administation requirements in the USA.

The book covers modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 of JAR-66/ECAR-66 in full and to a depth appropriate for Aircraft Maintenance Certifying Technicians, and will also be a valuabe reference for those taking ab initio programmes in JAR-147/ECAR-147 and FAR-147. In addition, the necessary mathematics, aerodynamics and electrical principles have been included to meet the requirements of introductory Aerospace Engineering courses. Numerous written and multiple choice questions are provided at the end of each chapter, to aid learning.

* Delivers the essential principles and knowledge base required by Airframe and Propulsion (A&P) Mechanics for JAR-66/ECAR-66 and the associated Federal Aviation Administration qualifications
* Ideal for both independent and tutor-assisted study
* Comprehensive and accessible, with self-test questions, exercises and multiple choice questions to enhance learning

Very Good
This book is A Perfect choice for people doing theyre PART 66 Licences at CAT A and B level though it only covers the 1st 4 modules it also gives allot of help. Its been Very useful during My apprentership At Virgin Atlantic and i am still using it.

A top Book for any Aero Engineer

Reaches the EASA Parts others can only dream of.
An excellent reference for Cat A, B1 and B2 covering Modules 1 through 4 with a helpful touch of 8. The further mathematics section (Chapter 3)should however be avoided, as this is at too high a level for the target audience. Good value for the money, unlike some of his later aircraft related topics.

USEFUL - A FEW ANSWER MISTAKES
The book covers modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 of the JAR EASA part 66 syllabus. The content is easy to read and understand however it is not the complete book if ypu are expecting to sit the full part EASA part 66 B1 course.

The book lacks extensive detail and is absent of material for modules 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15 and 17. Also, when using the book I have encountered some incorrect answers, (the boom give examples for you to try with answers in the back, several of these answers are incorrect); I feel 1 or 2 errors are acceptable but just in the maths I have encounterd 4 and I have not used all of the chapter to complete the module exam.

However, it is probably the best book to buy if you are ot learn aircraft engineering
