Overview

The FAA-H-8083-30A-ATB Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic's Handbook is the most up-to-date, highest quality, and most economical General textbook available. It is also the actual source from which all FAA knowledge test questions are derived.

However, while FAA did a terrific job with the development of this handbook, many technical errors were overlooked. This peer reviewed ATB edition corrects dozens of these mistakes which were identified by Aircraft Technical Book Company's review team from the Part 147 A&P schools listed below, thus making it the finest, most current, and most accurate textbook available to learn from and teach from.

This General Handbook covers workshop and flight-line procedures, FAA regulations, mathematics, physics, aircraft drawings, weight and balance, aircraft materials, processes and tools, corrosion control, electricity, inspection, and human factors.
