Aircraft Wiring
& Electrical Installation
Aircraft Wiring & Electrical Installation is a training manual specifically on the material, tools, inspection, testing, and proper techniques for aircraft electrical wiring. This book includes details on the identification and characteristics of aircraft grade wire and electrical connectors and describes many of the techniques used to prepare wire (cutting, stripping, crimping), install various types of connectors (soldered and solderless), etc.
From the Preface:
The satisfactory performance of present day aircraft depends greatly on the continuing reliability of its electrical system. Improperly or carelessly installed wiring can be a source of both immediate and potential danger, and many malfunctions and failures can be traced to this cause. The performance of the system depends on the quality of the design plus the workmanship used in making the installation. The continued proper performance of the system is dependent on the knowledge of the persons who do the inspection, repair, and maintenance.
