by Larry Reithmaier
Standard Aircraft Handbook is a nuts and bolts shop manual for all metal aircraft from Vans RVs to Boeing 747s. This book differs from the Standard Mechanics Handbook, in that the Mechanics Handbook offers mostly charts and references, while this Aircraft Handbook deals mostly with technique.
This toolbox sized book details most common procedures for standard airframe
tasks including:
1] step by step procedures methods and techniques
2] drilling
and riveting
3] installing wiring and plumbing
4] non destructive testing
5] forming and fabricating
6] materials handling
Examples of specific
procedures covered include:
1] selection of drill point angles for various
material
2] identification of fluid line markings
3] rivet standards and
set selection
