Aircraft Engineering Principles

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

The first volume in a definitive series of textbooks dedicated to aircraft engineering maintenance, this book provides a crucial outline of aircraft engineering principles. It is valuable for anyone pursuing a career in aircraft maintenance engineering or a related aerospace engineering discipline, and in particular will be suitable for those studying for licensed aircraft maintenance engineer status. The book systematically outlines modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 of JAR-66/Part-66, the Joint Aviation Requirement for aircraft engineers within Europe that are also being continuously harmonized with Federal Aviation Administration requirements in the USA.

•The perfect blend of academic and practical information for aircraft engineering maintenance
•Delivers the essential principles and knowledge needed by Aircraft Certifying Mechanics, Technicians and Engineers for JAR-66/Part-66 qualification
•Comprehensive and accessible, with self-test questions, exercises and multiple choice questions to enhance learning for both independent and tutor-assisted study

All the necessary mathematics, basic aerodynamics and electrical/electronic principles are examined in-depth, meeting the requirements of JAR-66/Part-66 modules, Aerospace Engineering City and Guilds modules, EDEXCEL National Units, elements of EDEXCEL Higher National Units, and a Foundation Degree in aircraft maintenance engineering or a related discipline. An introduction to the global aircraft maintenance industry, its career opportunities, legislative framework and safety culture, is all at the reader’s fingertips in this valuable and insightful text.
