HANDB0OK  \nCONSOLIDATEDREPRINT  \n(includes CHG 1,dated 3/31/99)  \nU.S.DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATIONFEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION  \nAIRFRAME AND POWERPLANTMECHANICSGENERAL HANDBOOK  \nU.S.DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATIONFEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION  \nFlight Standards Service  \nFirst Edition 1970  \nFirst Revision 1976  \nPREFACE  \nThis handbook was developed and first printed in 1970 as one of a series ofthree handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification with airframe orpowerplant ratings,or both.It is intended that this handbook will provide basicinformation on principles,fundamentals,and technical procedures in the subjectmatter areas common to both the airframe and powerplant ratings.Emphasis in thisvolume is on theory and methods of application.  \nThe handbook is designed to aid students enrolled in a formal course.of instruc-tion as well as the individual who is studying on his own.Since the knowledgerequirements for the airframe and powerplant ratings closely parallel each other insome subject areas,the chapters which discuss fire protection systems and electricasystems contain some material_which is also duplicated in the Airframe and Power-plant Mechanics Powerplant Handbook,AC 65-12A,and the Airframe and Power-plant Mechanics Airframe Handbook,AC65-15A.  \nThis volume contains information on aircraft drawings,weight and balance,air-craft materials and processes,physics,electricity,inspection,ground support,andtools.Knowledge gained from the study of this handbook is essential before pro-ceeding in a course of study in either the airframe or powerplant handbooks.  \nBecause there are so many different types of airframes and powerplants in usetoday,it is reasonable to expect that differences exist in the components and systemsof each.To avoid undue repetition,the practice of using representative systems andunits is carried out throughout the handbook.Subject matter treatment is from ageneralized point of view,and should be supplemented by reference to manufacturers'manuals or other textbooks if more detail is desired.This handbook is not intendedto replace,substitute for,or supersede official regulations or the manufacturers'instructions.  \nGrateful acknowledgement is extended to the manufacturers of airframe andairframe components for their cooperation in making material available for inclusion.  \nCopyright material is used by special permission of the following organizationsand may not be extracted or reproduced without permission of thet owner.  \nMonsanto ChemicalTownsend

instructional hand-book must be under continuous review and brought up to date periodically to bevalid.Flight Standards requested comments,from the certificated aviation mainte-nance technician schools,on the three handbooks.As a result of this survey,thehandbooks have been updated to this extent:new material has been added in theareas which were indicated as being deficient,and some material has been rearrangedto improve the teachability of the handbooks.  \n,,  \nWe would appreciate having errors brought to our attention,as well as receivingsuggestions for improving the
