This new FAA AMT Handbook - Powerplant (Volume 1 and 2) replaces and supersedes Advisory Circular (AC) 65-12A. Completely revised and updated, this handbook reflects current operating procedures, regulations, and equipment.

This book was developed as part of a series of handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification with airframe or powerplant ratings, or both - those seeking an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Certificate, also called an A&P license. An effective text for both students and instructors, this handbook will also serve as an invaluable reference guide for current technicians who wish to improve their knowledge.

Powerplant Volume 1: Aircraft Engines, Engine Fuel and Fuel Metering Systems, Induction and Exhaust Systems, Engine Ignition and Electrical Systems, Engine Starting Systems

Powerplant Volume 2: Lubrication and Cooling Systems, Propellers, Engine Removal and Replacement, Engine Fire Protection Systems, Engine Maintenance and Operation, Light-Sport Aircraft Engines

Includes colored charts, tables, full-color illustrations and photographs throughout, and an extensive glossary and index.

Pilot-oriented rather than mechanic-oriented, this guide to aircraft systems is designed specifically to help general aviation pilots to understand how aircraft systems work so that they can better use them in flight. In order to operate modern aircraft in the manner that the designers and manufacturers intend, pilots must understand what each handle or knob controls and must know what to expect from each system when it is employed. The understanding that pilots gain from this manual will help them enjoy their flying more and make them safer, more efficient aviators.

The fourth of 7 volumes in a leading and most highly respected series of manuals for the training of private pilots. Constantly updated, edited and revised, by a highly qualified team headed by Captain Peter Godwin, a current Flying Instructor (FI), Flight Instructor Examiner (FIE), Instrument Rating Examiner, and CAA CPL examiner. Thus making this series, a long recognised comprehensive reference available to both the student and instructor and is the standard reference for the CAA PPL examinations.

The Aeroplane: Technical covering Aircraft (General) and Aircraft (Type) - Principles of Flight - Airframe, Engines and Systems - Flight Instruments - Airworthiness and Performance - Aircraft (Type): Aeroplanes - Exercises and Answers.

Takes the reader step by step through the process of aircraft restoration from the initial decision to prepare for an exhibit: Does it fit the museum's aims? How will it be displayed? Will it fly? And of course: Is it good value?
Initial preparation before disassembly are noted and then the principal techniques in working with wood-and-fabric, and metal aircraft are discussed, using many interesting real examples. Types of propulsion, tires, colors and markings are covered systematically and the different requirements for indoor or outdoor exhibition are shown.

This book is considered the authoritative reference to the wide and complex subject of aircraft preservation and restoration.

Chris Heintz is a professional aeronautical engineer with a prolific career spanning over 40 years designing and building light aircraft. Recognized worldwide as a uniquely talented and accomplished designer, his aircraft are known and appreciated for their simplicity of construction, pilot-friendly cabins and controllability as well as remarkable performances.
Today, Chris Heintz designs are flown throughout the world, mostly by recreational pilots who have assembled their own planes from a kit. His most popular models are also factory-assembled and sold as ready-to-fly sport aircraft on three continents.

In this book, Mr. Heintz shares his knowledge and insights into the art and science of light aircraft design. He "walks" readers through the essential understanding and skills required to conceive, develop, build and even test-fly their own personal light airplane.
Basic mathematics, essential aerodynamics and stress analysis are just a few of the chapters of this fascinating book. Heintz even provides a sample design to help would-be designers take their first step towards imagining and creating their own wings.

Truly a beginner's guide to everything you need to know in order to achieve that age-old dream: To fly on your own wings!

Moderne Verkehrsflugzeuge sind das Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Entwicklung. Um die Fliegerei in ihrer heutigen Form zu ermöglichen, sind diese Maschinen technisch perfekt durchentwickelt und an das jeweilige Einsatzprofil angepasst. Doch auch wenn Verkehrsflugzeuge heute einen hohen technischen Leistungsstand erreicht haben, sind die Entwicklungen keineswegs abgeschlossen.

Dieses Buch von Klaus Hünecke gibt in einer umfassend überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Neuauflage einen fundierten und zusammenhängenden Überblick über die Technik des modernen Verkehrsflugzeuges auf aktuellstem Stand.

Flugzeuge sind mehr als jedes andere Verkehrsmittel technische Wunderwerke, über deren Entstehung nur wenige Menschen etwas wissen.
Dieses Buch soll dem technischen Laien verständlich erklären, wie Flugzeuge entstehen und welchen Wandel die Industrie von den Anfängen bis heute durchgemacht hat.

Grafisch ansprechend und spannend bebildert spannt sich der Bogen von den komplett in Handarbeit hergestellten "fliegenden Kisten" aus den Anfängen der Fliegerei, den Beginn der industriellen Serienfertigung, über den Zweiten Weltkrieg bis zu den vollständig am Computer entstandenen High-Tech-Flugzeuge der heutigen Zeit.

Fliegen gilt als eine der sichersten Fortbewegungsarten überhaupt, wenn allerdings etwas passiert, dann sind die Resultate bei einem Unfall meist fatal und mitunter äußerst spektakulär.

In diesem Buch gibt der ehemalige Fluglotse und Luftfahrtexperte Andreas Fecker einen umfassenden Überblick über die unglaublichsten Flugunfälle der letzten 75 Jahre. Dabei kommen Ursachen, Flugzeugtypen, Opferzahlen und Begleitumstände, aber auch die daraus zu ziehenden Lehren zur Sprache.
