PREFACE Congratulations on taking the first step toward learning to becoming an Aviation Maintenance Technician. The A&P Technician Airframe Textbook contains the answers to many of the questions you may have as you begin your training program. It is based on the "study/review" concept of learning. This means detailed material is presented in an uncomplicated way, then important points are summarized through the use of bold type and illustrations. The textbook incorporates many design features that will help you get the most out of your study and review efforts. These include: Illustrations Illustrations are carefully planned to complement and expand upon concepts introduced in the text. The use of bold in the accompanying caption flag them as items that warrant your attention during both initial study and review. Bold Type

Important new terms in the text are printed in bold type, then defined.

Federal Aviation Regulations Appropriate FARs are presented in the textbook. Furthermore, the workbook offers several exercises designed to test your understanding of pertinent regulations. This textbook is the key element in the training materials. Although it can be studied alone, there are several other components that we recommend to make your training as complete as possible. These include the A&P Technician Airframe Test Guide with Oral and Practical Study Guide, the A&P Technician Airframe Workbook, AC 43.13-1A/2A, and the FAR Handbook for Aviation Maintenance Technicians. When used together, these various elements provide an ideal framework for you and your instructor as you prepare for the FAA computerized and practical tests. The A&P Technician Airframe course is one of three segments of your training as an aviation maintenance technician. The airframe section introduces you to the concepts, terms, and common procedures used in the inspection and maintenance of airframe structures and systems.
