This book is fully compliant to EASA Part 66 standards for the B1 aircraft maintenance license and is developed as appropriate for use within a typical 2 year 2400 hour Part 66/147 program.
Its in depth content, full color, and highly illustrated format makes this an excellent choice for students preparing for their B1 exams, or for Part 147 schools looking for a high quality and cost effective alternative to your self developed student notes.
Includes two year free revision service.
