When I entered the aviation industry many years ago. No one sat me down and explained what I was getting myself into from a real world perspective. There was one person I knew was in the industry and he worked nights and was very difficult to connect with. In short, I was clueless. I made grave mistakes and sometimes took real, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, for granted. I also missed some opportunities because I was not prepared. After you graduate aviation school, you are going to want to have a full picture of your future. If you are currently in the industry and have been for about 5...

"There's a dirty little secret about aviation maintenance: it often breaks aircraft instead of fixing them."

"Manifesto" is the much-anticipated first book from renowned aviation columnist and speaker Mike Busch. Written in typical no-nonsense style, it lays out the basis of Mike's "minimalist" maintenance philosophy for owner-flown general aviation aircraft. An owner who follows the book's guidance can save a small fortune on maintenance costs and end up with a safer, more reliable aircraft.

Owners are advised to perform the absolute least amount of maintenance...

This book explores the use of a computerized aircraft maintenance system cost model to analyze the F/A-18 engine maintenance system. The Dependability Cost Model is a Paradox Data Base model, developed by the Boeing Corporation, and is currently used in the airline industry to estimate costs associated with maintaining aircraft or the implementation of service bulletin changes to the aircraft. Research was conducted to determine the feasibility of adapting this model to the F/A-18 using existing maintenance information systems, and the possibilty of forecasting future funding requirements...

This book was written for anyone who wondered who takes care of airplanes and for young people who want to know more about a very well paid career in aviation. America's Aviation Industry has some of the sexiest and highest paying careers in the country. Unfortunately, one of the highest paying jobs is purposely kept "under the radar" by the airlines themselves. And that's because while Airlines work hard to maintain their image of shiny jets and neatly dressed pilots and flight attendants, they don't like showing their airplanes in a hangar or parked with a panel opened or with a technician...

Starting life as a hopped-up Tempest, the 1964 Pontiac GTO featured a 389 V-8, heavy-duty suspension, quick steering ratio, dual exhaust, and a floor shifter. Equipped with this performance package, the GTO set itself apart from other pedestrian coupes of the same era, and it made history. Many regard it as the first muscle car. As muscle car wars reached fevered pitch, the GTO would establish itself as one of the most prominent performance cars of the era, and from 1964-1972, more than 500,000 GTOs were built.

Designed by famed engineer Willy Messerschmitt, the Bf 109 scored more kills than any other aircraft in WWII. One of the first truly modern fighter planes - the Bf 109 featured retractable landing gear and all-metal monocoque fuselage - it flew as a fighter, bomber escort, interceptor, ground attack platform, and recon aircraft. fighter, bomber escort, interceptor, ground attack platform, and recon aircraft. An astonishing 31,000 Bf-109s were built during the war and after, when Spain and Czechoslovakia built variants. This Messerschmidt maintenance and erection manual dates from the pre-war...

Although several U.S. and European airlines have started providing human factors training to their maintenance personnel, the academic community (some 300 academic programs in the United States and several others in Europe and Asia) has not yet started offering formal human factors education to maintenance students. The highly respected authors strongly believe in incorporating the human factors principles in aviation maintenance. This is the first of two volumes providing effective behavioural guidance on risk management in aviation maintenance for both the novice and the experienced...
