Jeppesen's A&P Technician Powerplant Textbook is an essential tool for successful aircraft maintenance. Not only does it provide the fundamentals for students studying to become a certificated aviation maintenance technician, but it also serves as an excellent resource for experienced maintenance professionals.

This thoroughly revised, expanded and updated edition fully integrates practical A&P powerplant skills with theory of the A&P general topic areas. It includes a wealth of color illustrations and examples to help maximize your study efforts. Each section includes comprehensive exercises that check the understanding of the material. The textbook introduces the fundamental concepts, terms and procedures that are the foundation of the more complex material that will be encountered in later maintenance training.
