This textbook, the first in a series of four, was written for the aviation maintenance technician (AMT) student of today. It covers general and foundational material that an AMT needs to know. Topics are listed below. It is based on the real-world requirements of today’s aviation industry and introduces some of the systems and technologies that may help form the future of aviation. It also includes the traditional subject areas taught since the first aviation maintenance schools were certificated.
Avotek has developed this series through careful study and gathering of information offered by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Blue Ribbon Panel, the Joint Task Analysis report, industry involvement, and AMT schools nationwide.
The new Aviation Mechanic Airman Certification Standards (ACS) have been the driving force in both the scope and the organization of this series. The books support both current and future requirements for a course of study in aviation maintenance technology.
