Textbook in PDF format

Even though ways to look up mechanics reference information via the internet are widely available today, there is still significant benefit to keeping a printed “quick reference” guide handy in a toolbox or workbench drawer. Your time as an aviation mechanic is too valuable to be spent looking through stacks and pages of reference books to find a particular chart, formula or diagram you need on a particular job. The editorial staff at ASA has done this job for you and compiled this Aviation Mechanic Handbook to be a handy toolbox source of useful information.
For your convenience, this handbook is arranged in 18 sections with a table of contents at the beginning of each section, as well as complete
contents at the front of the book and index at the back.
This information has been compiled from a large number of industry and government publications, and every effort has been made to ensure its
applicability and accuracy.
The ASA Aviation Mechanic Handbook is a companion volume to the ASA Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms. The two books are the core of ASA’s training materials for aircraft mechanics.
ASA is dedicated to providing quality training materials for the aviation industry. Your feedback regarding our books will help us to continue to produce the materials you need.
