Aircraft Engineering Principles

Aircraft Engineering Principles is the essential text for anyone studying for licensed A&P or Aircraft Maintenance Engineer status. The book is written to meet the requirements of JAR-66/ECAR-66, the Joint Aviation Requirement (to be replaced by European Civil Aviation Regulation) for all aircraft engineers within Europe, which is also being continuously harmonised with Federal Aviation Administration requirements in the USA. The book covers modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 of JAR-66/ECAR-66 in full and to a depth appropriate for Aircraft Maintenance Certifying Technicians, and will also be a valuable reference for those taking ab initio programmes in JAR-147/ECAR-147 and FAR-147. In addition, the necessary mathematics, aerodynamics and electrical principles have been included to meet the requirements of introductory Aerospace Engineering courses. Numerous written and multiple choice questions are provided at the end of each chapter, to aid learning.

Lloyd Dingle is a Chartered Engineer specialising in Aircraft Maintenance. Over the past 25 years Lloyd has held several posts in engineering training and education at various levels, formerly as the Associate Dean of Technology at Brooklands College and more recently as an engineering lecturer at Farnborough College of Technology and Project Tutor at Kingston University. Lloyd is an advocate of quality education and training for engineers and technicians and is able, in some small way, to use his experience and influence in the delivery and accreditation of engineering learning programmes, through the work he is currently involved with at BTEC and the RAeS. Lloyd has been co-author of several popular engineering textbooks for over 10 years. Mike Tooley is a technical author and consultant. He was formerly Vice Principal at Brooklands College in Surrey, England, where he was responsible for the delivery of learning to over 10,000 Further and Higher Education students increasingly by flexible, open and on-line distance learning. Mike is the well-known author of several popular engineering and related text books, including widely adopted course texts for BTEC, GCE A-level and GCSE qualifications in Engineering. Mike's hobbies include astronomy, amateur radio, aviation, computing and electronic circuit design and construction.

The first volume in a definitive series of textbooks dedicated to aircraft engineering maintenance, this book provides a crucial outline of aircraft engineering principles. It is valuable for anyone pursuing a career in aircraft maintenance engineering or a related aerospace engineering discipline, and in particular will be suitable for those studying for licensed aircraft maintenance engineer status. The book systematically outlines modules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 of JAR-66/Part-66, the Joint Aviation Requirement for aircraft engineers within Europe that are also being continuously harmonized with Federal Aviation Administration requirements in the USA. The perfect blend of academic and practical information for aircraft engineering maintenance Delivers the essential principles and knowledge needed by Aircraft Certifying Mechanics, Technicians and Engineers for JAR-66/Part-66 qualification Comprehensive and accessible, with self-test questions, exercises and multiple choice questions to enhance learning for both independent and tutor-assisted study All the necessary mathematics, basic aerodynamics and electrical/electronic principles are examined in-depth, meeting the requirements of JAR-66/Part-66 modules, Aerospace Engineering City and Guilds modules, EDEXCEL National Units, elements of EDEXCEL Higher National Units, and a Foundation Degree in aircraft maintenance engineering or a related discipline. An introduction to the global aircraft maintenance industry, its career opportunities, legislative framework and safety culture, is all at the readers fingertips in this valuable and insightful text. Lloyd Dingle is a chartered aeronautical engineer with over 25 years practical experience in the field of aircraft maintenance, specializing in aircraft structures and fluid power systems. He is currently a Lecturer at Farnborough College of Technology, UK. Mike Tooley has over 30 years of experience of teaching electrical principles, electronics and avionics to engineers and technicians, previously as Head of Department of Engineering and Vice Principal at Brooklands College in Surrey, UK, and currently as a consultant and freelance technical author.
