Aircraft Systems: Understanding Your Airplane Book

This handbook fills a gap in aviation books. Each chapter in this guide covers a different aircraft system. David Lombardo-a professional pilot for the past 17 years-discusses system theory,preflight,preventative maintenance,and in-flight troubleshooting clearly and concisely,emphasizing ways to maximize pilot safety,aircraft performance,and equipment life. Maintenance advice provided in the book will not only give pilots a better understanding of the problems that can develop in their planes,but also offer newly licensed airframe and power plant mechanics a concise guide to help them in their work.
