A&P Powerplant Textbook
Jeppesen's FAR Part 147 Powerplant textbook now including workbook exercises and study questions throughout each chapter.
This expanded edition now integrates practical A&P Powerplant skills with the theory of the A&P general topics areas, including illustrations and examples to help you get the most from your study efforts. Each section includes exercises that check your understanding of the material.
The textbook introduces you to the fundamental concepts, terms, and procedures that are the foundation of the more complex material you will encounter later in your maintenance training including:
reciprocating engine operation, instrumentation, maintenance, and overhaul
turbine engine operation instruments, maintenance, and overhaul
induction systems
exhaust systems
fuel and fuel metering systems
ignition and electrical systems
motors and generators
lubrication systems.
cooling systems
engine fire protection
powerplant and propeller inspections
troubleshooting.
This textbook cross references to the Jeppesen Powerplant Testguide.
