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. Powerplant covers the final section of the FAA's required curriculum, detailing the technical maintenance of turbine and reciprocating engines, theory and construction of aircraft engines, aircraft powerplants, and powerplant auxiliary systems.
This fourth edition has been updated to today's practices and procedures by technical editor David Scroggins.
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.
