When no manufacturer repair or maintenance instructions are available, the Federal Aviation Administration deems Aircraft Inspection and Repair the one-stop guide to all elements of maintenance: preventive, rebuilding, and alteration. With detailed information on structural inspection, protection, and repair, including aircraft systems, hardware, fuel and engines, and electrical systems, this comprehensive guide is designed to leave no vital question on inspection and repair unanswered. Sections include: * Wood, fabric, plastic, and metal structures * Testing of metals and repair procedures * Welding and brazing, including fire explosion and safety * Nondestructive inspection (NDI) * Application of magnetic particles * Common corrosive elements and corrosion proofing * Aircraft hardware, from nuts and bolts to washers and pins * Engines, fuel, exhaust, and propellers * Aircraft systems and components * Electrical systems This is a book that should be available to everyone who works on aircraft or is training to do so. The official FAA guide to maintenance methods, techniques, and practices-essential for all pilots and aircraft maintenance workers. 200 B&W 200 B&W
