Aircraft Systems Maintenance
by Dale Hurst
Avotek's Airframe Systems Textbook, is the third in a series of four textbooks written for the beginning aviation maintenance student in accordance to standard A&P part 147 curriculum. The airframe systems section details the many nonstructural components of basic and advanced aircraft including control system rigging, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, landing gear, environmental systems, electrical systems and wiring, fuel systems, fire protection, ice protection, instruments, avionics, and others. This is a well written book with clear drawings and photos, and does a good job explaining aircraft powerplant systems in an intuitive and understandable way.
