AIRCRAFT DIGITAL ELECTRONIC AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS (Mike Tooley)

The books in this series have been designed for both

independent and tutor-assisted studies. They are

particularly useful to the ‘self-starter’ and to those

wishing to update or upgrade their aircraft mainte-

nance licence.The series also provides a useful source

of reference for those taking ab initio training

programmes in EASA Part 147 and FAR 147 approved

organizations, as well as those following related pro-

grammes in further and higher education institutions.

This book is designed to cover the essential

knowledge base required by certifying mechanics,

technicians and engineers engaged in engineering

maintenance activities on commercial aircraft. In

addition, this book should appeal to members of the

armed forces and others attending training and educa-

tional establishments engaged in aircraft maintenance

and related aeronautical engineering programmes

(including BTEC National and Higher National units

as well as City and Guilds and NVQ courses).

The book provides an introduction to the prin-

ciples, operation and maintenance of aircraft digital

electronic and computer systems.The aim has been to

make the subject material accessible and present it in

a form that can be readily assimilated.The book pro-

vides full syllabus coverage of Module 5 of the EASA

Part-66 syllabus, with partial coverage of avionic

topics in Modules 11 and 13.The book assumes a basic

understanding of aircraft flight controls as well as an

appreciation of electricity and electronics (broadly

equivalent to Modules 3 and 4 of the EASA Part-66

syllabus).
