Dale Crane's handbook for mechanics has been considered
"The Aviation Standard" for many years.
This handy reference book is ideal for mechanics, aircraft owners and pilots and provides conversions, formulas, densities, tools, equipment, hardware sizing, rules-of-thumb and much, much more. Never before has so much useful aircraft maintenance information been available in one place.
This edition reflects current references and operating specifications, and additional information on aircraft batteries has been added. The book provides all the reference information critical to maintaining an aircraft, including the most frequently used measurements, scales, charts, diagrams... and much more.

Author's Introduction: "Your time as an aviation mechanic is too valuable to be spent looking through stacks of reference books to find a particular chart, formula or diagram you need on a particular job. The editorial staff at ASA has done this job for you and compiled this Aviation Mechanic Handbook to be a handy toolbox source of useful information. For your convenience, this handbook is arranged in 16 sections with a table of contents at the beginning of each section, as well as a complete table of contents at the front of the book and index at the back. This information has been compiled from a large number of industry and government publications, and every effort has been made to ensure its applicability and accuracy. The ASA Aviation Mechanics Handbook is a companion volume to the ASA's Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms. The two books are the core of ASA's training materials for aircraft mechanics."
About the Author
Dale Crane represents the best qualities of aviation educator and industry leader that ASA seeks in its team of authors. In his 50 years in aviation he has collected Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic, Designated Mechanic Examiner, Commercial Pilot, Flight Instructor and Advanced Ground and Instrument Instructor certificates and ratings. Dale began his career in the U.S. Navy as a mechanic and flight engineer on PBYs. After World War II, he attended Parks Air College and later worked as an instrument overhaul mechanic, instrument shop manager, and flight test instrumentation engineer. He spent the following 16 years as an instructor, and then became director of an aviation maintenance school. For the past 25 years, Mr. Crane has been active as a writer of aviation technical materials, and as a consultant developing aviation training programs. A participant in FAA studies, Mr. Crane has received from ATEC their Special Recognition Award for "his contribution to the development of aviation technicians as a prolific author of specialized maintenance publications."
