This new FAA AMT Handbook—Powerplant (Volume 1 and 2) replaces and supersedes Advisory Circular (AC) 65-12A. Completely revised and updated, this handbook reflects current operating procedures, regulations, and equipment.

This book was developed as part of a series of handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification with airframe or powerplant ratings, or both — those seeking an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Certificate, also called an A&P license. An effective text for both students and instructors, this handbook will also serve as an invaluable reference guide for current technicians who wish to improve their knowledge.
