Powerplant, the last textbook in Dale Crane's four-part Aviation Mechanic Series, covers the technical maintenance of turbine and reciprocating engines, theory and construction of aircraft engines, aircraft powerplants, and powerplant auxiliary systems. The content meets FAA aviation maintenance technician school curriculum requirements and prepares applicants for the Powerplant FAA Knowledge Exam.
This new fifth edition features updated content reflecting new regulations and changes affecting aviation mechanic certification. Originally written by Dale Crane in 1996, this textbook has been reviewed and updated by an editorial team consisting of aviation mechanics, university professors, and pilots.
ASA's Aviation Mechanic Series is a current, comprehensive, and effective learning resource for aviation mechanic training. Designed for use in classrooms and for independent study, these textbooks feature color figures, study questions with answer keys, and extensive glossaries and indexes.
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.
