Overview

H-8083-30B General Handbook is the official source of knowledge for the A&P technician which will be tested by FAA within the General written and oral exams. In addition, this book is of the most up to date, highest quality with exceptional drawings and diagrams, and most economical option available.

However, while FAA did a terrific job with the development of this Handbook, many technical errors were made. (for example, MS fittings are color coded green, not blue). In these ATB editions, errors of this type have been identified and corrected. And so no more instances in your training when the instructor’s presentation does not agree with the book. A complete log of all corrections can be found on page v of each volume or may be requested separately at orders@actechbooks.com.
