DESCRIPTION:
This book provides an introduction to the principles of communications and navigation systems. The Aircraft Engineering Principles and Practice Series provides students, apprentices and practicing aerospace professionals with the definitive resources to advance their aircraft engineering maintenance studies and career. The book systematically addresses the relevant sections (ATA chapters 23/34) of modules 11 and 13 of part-66 of the EASA syllabus. It is written for anyone pursuing a career in aircraft maintenance engineering or a related aerospace engineering discipline, and in particular will be suitable for those studying for licensed aircraft maintenance
Mike's hobbies include astronomy, amateur radio, aviation, computing and electronic circuit design and construction.. He was formerly Vice Principal at Brooklands College in Surrey, England, where he was responsible for the delivery of learning to over 10,000 Further and Higher Education students increasingly by flexible, open and on-line distance learning. Mike Tooley is a technical author
This book provides an introduction to the principles of aircraft communications and navigation systems. It is ideal for anyone studying as part of a EASA and FAR-147 approved course in aerospace engineering. The book systematically outlines modules 11 and 13 Part-66 of the EASA syllabus. .The perfect blend of academic and practical information for aircraft engineering maintenance .Delivers the essential principles and knowledge needed by Aircraft Certifying Mechanics, Technicians and Engineers for Part-66 qualification .Comprehensive and accessible, with self-test questions, exercises and multiple choice questions to enhance learning for both independent and tutor-assisted study All the necessary mathematical, electrical and electronic principles are examined clearly and in-depth, meeting the requirements of Part-66 modules, Aerospace Engineering City and Guilds modules, EDEXCEL National Units
Samuel E. Benson said Good - but could be better. Overall the entire series of books by Mike Tooley are excellent learning material for the EASA Part 66 avionics exams.My sticking points are the number of errors in both the text (bidirectional is two ways, not one way) and the errors in the answers to the mulitple choice questions. If you can read between the errors and understand . Just the right level for what I wanted jon wurl I have an MSEE, but really know nothing about avionics. Therefore this was a quick study, because I was already very familiar with the basic concepts (of how radios work, digital electronics, etc). I learned a lot and got out of it what I was looking for. (In the wake of the MH370 disappearance, analysis of electronics was a central. "Well structured book" according to ShuttleGlen. I needed to come up to speed on the subject fast for work. Just needed a broad overview. This fit the bill well. Looks like it is out of print. Too bad; this was a well organized book on the subject. Could use an updated version with modern satellite navigation chapters.
