This book details FAA's standards and practical techniques for aircraft inspection and repair of unpressurized sections of civil aircraft under 12,500 pounds. It is considered the acceptable standard of work for many hundreds of procedures to be used when detailed manufacturer's instructions do not exist. It can be considered as the bible for light airplane repair and is so a principle requirement for light aircraft repair stations and a core required book at all Part 147 A&P schools.

This edition of AC43.13 produced by Aircraft Technical Book Company is an exact page-by-page reproduction of the FAA Advisory Circular just as offered by several other publishers, but with the following benefits:
