About this ebook
Aviation Maintenance Technician: Airframe (Volume 1) Structures (3rd Edition) by Dale Crane focuses strictly on the structural aspects of aircraft construction, repair, and related physical flight principles. Published by Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. (ASA), this text covers the curriculum required under 14 CFR Part 147 for General and Airframe structural knowledge tests. [1, 2, 3]
The textbook is divided into several main structural areas, covering the following foundational topics:
1. Aerodynamics and Aircraft Theory
  • Principles of Flight: Basics of lift, drag, thrust, and weight.
  • Aerodynamic Structures: How structural geometry affects flight physics.
  • Rotorcraft Fundamentals: Aerodynamics and unique structural needs specific to helicopters. [1, 2]
2. Metallic Airframe Structures & Repairs
  • Aircraft Metals: Types, properties, and heat treatment of ferrous and nonferrous aircraft metals.
  • Sheet Metal Layout: Blueprint reading, bend allowance, and setback calculations.
  • Structural Riveting: Rivet types, identification, layout spacing, and proper installation techniques.
  • Sheet Metal Repair: Patching, reinforcement, and structural repair procedures matching FAA standards.
3. Nonmetallic Structures & Composites
  • Advanced Composite Materials: Fiberglass, Kevlar, and carbon fibre structure maintenance.
  • Composite Material Repair: Matrix curing, vacuum bagging, and damage inspection methodologies.
  • Aircraft Fabric Covering: Materials, application processes, structural doping, and testing fabric health.
  • Wood Structural Maintenance: Grading aircraft lumber, wood defects, and structural gluing procedures.
  • Plastics and Windows: Acrylic sheet forming, cleaning, polishing, and installation constraints.
4. Aircraft Assembly and Rigging
  • Control Surfaces: Alignment, travel limits, cable tensioning, and balance requirements.
  • Structural Alignment: Checking fuselage and wing geometry using measurement instruments. [1]
5. Fluid Power Systems (Landing Gear Related)
  • Hydraulic Systems: Fluid characteristics, pumps, valves, and structural actuator systems.
  • Pneumatic Systems: High/low-pressure systems used to backup or operate gear.
  • Landing Gear Systems: Main structural struts, brakes, wheels, tires, retraction mechanisms, and anti-skid setups. [1, 2]
6. Special Structural Techniques
  • Aircraft Welding: Oxyacetylene, TIG, and MIG welding as applied to chromoly steel structures.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Visual, dye penetrant, magnetic particle, and eddy current structural inspection.
