About this book
This is not AI-generated content. The contents were written and verified by subject matter experts from Aviation Supplies & Academics, an 85-year-old aviation company. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you are purchasing a reliable publication.
The AMT series textbooks were created to set the pace for maintenance technician training and attain a level of quality that surpasses all other maintenance textbooks on the market. This is Volume 1 of Dale Crane's two-part Airframe textbook and details the subjects associated with aircraft structures including aerodynamics, and hydraulics and pneumatic systems as they relate to the landing gear. Both metallic and nonmetallic structures as well as assembly and rigging are covered in this volume.
The curriculum meets 14 CFR Part 147 curriculum requirements, as well as prepares applicants for all subjects in the FAA Knowledge Exams. The textbooks are designed for at-home, classroom, or university-level training. They include colored charts, tables and illustrations throughout, in addition to an extensive glossary, index, and additional career information. A study guide is included within each textbook in the form of study question sections, with answer keys printed at the end of each chapter.
Important note from the publisher:
While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context—so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
