FAA Airframe Handbook Vol 1
These Airframe Handbooks volumes 1 were developed by FAA as the second of three sections for persons preparing for A&P mechanic examinations and their Airframe certification.
The FAA-H-8083-31A-ATB Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic’s Airframe Handbooks are the most up-to-date, highest quality, and most economical Airframe textbooks available. It is also the actual source from which all FAA knowledge test questions are derived. In the words from FAA; “if it’s in this book, it’s on the test. If it’s on the test, it’s in this FAA Airframe Handbook Vol 1 FAA-8083-31A.
However, while FAA did a terrific job with the development of this handbook, many technical errors were made. In this ATB peer-reviewed edition, dozens of these errors were found and corrected (for example MS fittings are color-coded green, not blue) thus making it the finest, most current, and most accurate textbook available to learn and teach from. A complete correction log appears on page 5.
The core topics in this Volume 1 include:
- Aerodynamics and Rigging
- Fabric Covering
- Metal Structure Repair
- Aircraft Welding
- Wood Structure Repair
- Composite Materials
- Painting and Finishing
- Aircraft Electrical Systems
