The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Private Pilot - Airplane Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency standards for the private pilot certification in the airplane category, single-engine land and sea; and multiengine land and sea classes. This ACS incorporates and supersedes the previous Private Pilot Practical Test Standards for Airplane, FAA-S-8081-14. The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the safety management system (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS: Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge, flight proficiency, and risk management as integrated components of the airman certification system; Safety Risk Management processes through which internal and external stakeholders identify and evaluate regulatory changes, safety recommendations and other factors that require modification of airman testing and training materials; Safety Assurance processes to ensure the prompt and appropriate incorporation of changes arising from new regulations and safety recommendations; and Safety Promotion in the form of ongoing engagement with both external stakeholders (e.g., the aviation training industry) and FAA policy divisions. The FAA has developed this ACS and its associated guidance in collaboration with a diverse group of aviation training experts. The goal is to drive a systematic approach to all components of the airman certification system, including knowledge test question development and conduct of the practical test. The FAA acknowledges and appreciates the many hours that these aviation experts have contributed toward this goal. This level of collaboration, a hallmark of a robust safety culture, strengthens and enhances aviation safety at every level of the airman certification system.

The major objective of this book was to identify issues related to the introduction of new materials and the effects that advanced materials will have on the durability and technical risk of future civil aircraft throughout their service life. The committee investigated the new materials and structural concepts that are likely to be incorporated into next generation commercial aircraft and the factors influencing application decisions. Based on these predictions, the committee attempted to identify the design, characterization, monitoring, and maintenance issues that are critical for the introduction of advanced materials and structural concepts into future aircraft.

“There's a dirty little secret about aviation maintenance: it often breaks aircraft instead of fixing them.” “Manifesto” is the much-anticipated first book from renowned aviation columnist and speaker Mike Busch. Written in typical no-nonsense style, it lays out the basis of Mike's “minimalist” maintenance philosophy for owner-flown general aviation aircraft. An owner who follows the book's guidance can save a small fortune on maintenance costs and end up with a safer, more reliable aircraft. Owners are advised to perform the absolute least amount of maintenance required to make their aircraft safe, reliable and legal… and nothing more. The book explains in detail why engine and propeller TBOs and most other manufacturer-prescribed maintenance intervals should be disregarded. And “Manifesto” explains exactly how to do it. About the Author: Mike Busch is arguably the best-known A&P/IA in general aviation. In 2008, he was honored by the FAA as “National Aviation Maintenance Technician of the Year.” Mike has been a prolific aviation writer for more than four decades. His “Savvy Aviator” columns have appeared in numerous publications including EAA Sport Aviation, AOPA's Opinion Leader's Blog, AVweb, and magazines for the three largest GA type clubs (ABS, CPA, and COPA). He is renowned for his free monthly maintenance webinars and his standing-room-only forums at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Mike has been a pilot and aircraft owner for 45 years with 7,500+ hours logged, and he is a CFIA/I/ME. He's founder and CEO of Savvy Aircraft Maintenance Management, Inc., the world's largest firm providing maintenance-management services for owner-flown aircraft.

It is my desire to share the dissapointments and triumphs associated with living an aviation lifestyle. My hope is that many more individuals who are considering becoming a pilot, an aircraft mechanic or maybe even an aircraft owner will find this information valuable. This book covers nearly every aspect of becoming involved in aviation no matter which of these fields you might be interested in persuing. You can learn what is required by the Federal Aviation administration in order to become an aircraft mechanic, an aircraft inspector or even a private pilot. You can learn what you need to do in order to get started with pilot training. You can learn what to look for if you are considering purchasing an aircraft to do your training in. If you already own an aircraft you can learn about avionics upgrades and what maintenance you are allowed to do on your own aircraft. It has been brought to my attention that many people may be interested in being involved in aviation but really have no idea which area suits them best or where to begin and I believe this will help. I have been involved in the aviation industry for nearly forty years as the title indicates and have worked on Military, Commercial, Corporate and General Aviation aircraft my entire adult life. I have many people asking me aviation related questions from daylight to dark everyday and I thought it would a be good idea to just make a lot of this information available in one place. This book covers many serious aviation related topics but also shares a significant amount of firsthand experiences in different types of aviation careers. Personally I believe there is something for everyone who has the slightest interest in aviation but there is also a significant amount of humor. I think it is important for someone who may be considering an aviation career to know what to expect ahead of time. I can tell you firsthand that I had no idea of what to expect and frankly some of it caught me off guard. For those of you who are already in the business but possibly considering a different aspect, or a different job, there is plenty of information related to each possibilty. If you have been an aircraft mechanic for a while and are considering starting you own business that is covered as well. Everything from what you need to be aware of in order to start an aviation business to running a FBO or a CRS, to dealing with full time employees, contractors, customers and taxes. There is also a tidbit of information about dealing with the Federal Aviation Adiministration and its regulations. I have tried to cover some complicated issues while explaining them in terms that are interesting to the experienced aviation fanatic and yet easy for the aviation novice or mere spectator to comprehend. While all of the stories are true and easy to relate to I must stress that the lessons learned on my part are strictly my own personal opinion. While I think you will find many of my personal experiences interesting, educational and even humorous, most of all I hope they will help you to be motivated to get involved in aviation if you're not already. If you already are involved then perhaps it will help you decide where you would like to go from where you are in your aviation related career. No matter where you are or where you decide to go concerning aviation I hope reading this material will be a helpful and enjoyable experience.

When I entered the aviation industry many years ago. No one sat me down and explained what I was getting myself into from a real world perspective. There was one person I knew was in the industry and he worked nights and was very difficult to connect with. In short, I was clueless. I made grave mistakes and sometimes took real, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, for granted. I also missed some opportunities because I was not prepared. After you graduate aviation school, you are going to want to have a full picture of your future. If you are currently in the industry and have been for about 5 years, you will still need this information to successfully fine-tune your career. This book will help prepare you for a successful aviation maintenance career. It gives a good "insider's" perspective of the aviation maintenance industry that most would have to work in the industry to get. It sums up what "good" mechanics should know about their profession. It will help you avoid the mistakes that I made thereby improve your chances of success. Do you want to know more about contracting? Do you know what contracting is? What are the benefits and disadvantages versus working with a major carrier? Having information that you can apply is the best tool you can have when it comes to your career. I am an FAA Licensed Aircraft Mechanic of 25 years and have held positions such as: Aircraft Mechanic, Aircraft Maintenance Supervisor, Site Lead, Install Manager, Regional Manager, Maintenance Representative, Flight Engineer, Process Improvement Manager, and Aircraft Inspector, Through my career experiences, I feel I have very important information to share with the many professionals in the aviation maintenance industry. For example: in our industry, there are occupational basics and personal basics. Do you know what they are and if so, do you meet them all on a daily basis? Making sure that you do will improve your chances for better opportunities and promotion, at the very least will separate you from the pack. Is aviation management one of your goals? It could be somewhat difficult to break into but also very lucrative. I share key information that will guide you into that direction. Do you set professional and personal goals for yourself?

To be completely frank about it, Im increasingly aware that there are as many gray areas in aviation as there are black-and-white ones, and Im beginning to feel as if I know less and less about what I do. Im a trained and reasonably experienced A&P mechanic, and Im supposed to know this airplane stuff, but my experiences are often contradictory to what I know are theoretical facts. Its frustrating, and sometimes I think I knew more back when I knew less. Or at least I thought I did. To keep an aircraft in peak operating condition, aircraft mechanics and service technicians perform scheduled maintenance to make repairs and complete inspections required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Many aircraft mechanics specialize in preventive maintenance. They inspect engines, landing gear, instruments, pressurized sections, accessoriesbrakes, valves, pumps, and air-conditioning systems, for exampleand other parts of the aircraft and do the necessary maintenance and replacement of parts. Inspections take place following a schedule based on the number of hours the aircraft has flown, calendar days, cycles of operation, or a combination of these factors. To examine an engine, aircraft mechanics work through specially designed openings while standing on ladders or scaffolds, or use hoists or lifts to remove the entire engine from the craft. After taking an engine apart, mechanics use precision instruments to measure parts for wear and use x-ray and magnetic inspection equipment to check for invisible cracks. Worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced. They may also repair sheet metal or composite surfaces, measure the tension of control cables, and check for corrosion, distortion, and cracks in the fuselage, wings, and tail. After completing all repairs, mechanics must test the equipment to ensure that it works properly.
