About this book

This is not AI-generated content. Aviation Supplies & Academics has been the industry's trusted source for official FAA publications for more than 85 years. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you are purchasing the latest authentic FAA release.

Airframe structures AND systems now in one comprehensive volume. This handbook FAA-H-8083-31B is current in 2025.

The FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook—Airframe is designed for use by instructors and applicants preparing for the FAA Knowledge Exam and Oral & Practical (O&P) Exams required to obtain an Aviation Mechanic Certificate with Airframe and/or Powerplant Ratings (also called an A&P license). Developed as one in a series of handbooks for this purpose, this is an effective text for both students and instructors and will also serve as an invaluable reference guide for current technicians who wish to improve their knowledge.

The airframe handbook provides the basic information on principles, fundamentals, and technical procedures in the subject matter areas relating to airframe systems and structures. Subjects covered include aircraft structures, aerodynamics, aircraft assembly and rigging, aircraft fabric covering, aircraft metal structural repair, aircraft welding, aircraft wood and structural repair, aircraft composite materials, aircraft painting and finishing, aircraft electrical system, aircraft systems, communication and navigation, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems, aircraft landing gear systems, aircraft fuel systems, ice and rain protection, cabin environmental control systems, and fire protection systems.

Reflecting current technologies, equipment and procedures, the 2023 edition provides the guidance to support the FAA Aviation Mechanic Airman Certification Standards (ACS) and 14 CFR Part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools. Illustrated throughout with detailed, full-color drawings and photographs, the handbook also offers a comprehensive glossary and index.

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.
