Summary: Don't waste your time
Comment: I have this book and it sits on my bookself collecting dust. It was a required text for school and I could never use it. It is poorly laid out and the descriptions of the systems are not in depth enough to actually give you a decent understanding of the material. The systems are out dated with current technology unless you are a general aviation mechanic. For the few systems that are in detail, the writer makes it very difficult for the beginning student to understand. When I taught I tried to lead the other students through the text and I found it easier to just use the book as a door stop than a teaching tool. The rest of the books in this series are wonderful, but I would never use this one again.

Summary: Great Book on Theory but...
Comment: This is a great book on theory, but if you're a kit aircraft builder like me, it doesn't have enough specific "how to" information. A great resource to go along with this book is "The Aeroelectric Connection", not available on Amazon as of the writing of this review. It has all the information you need to know about to wire your aircraft; tools, supplies, and the most valuable of all: wiring diagrams for every possible configuration.

Summary: Aircraft Electricity & Electronics
Comment: I believe this text to be the most comprehensive reference available on basic electricity, electrical & electronic systems and avionics. When I need information about an electrical system or component it is the first place I look.
The scope and detail of the text vastly exceeds that of any of the other A&P "textbooks". The text is not written at a fourth grade level like the other textbooks. If remedial instruction is your objective, this is not the textbook for you. If, however, your objective is quality instruction on basic electricity, electrical systems, and present day avionics systems this comprehensive text is vastly superior to others I have examined.
In the A&P and advanced maintenance curriculum at the university where I teach, this text is used as a reference in five different courses. This text is the one you want to "hold on to" as a reference for your future maintenance activities.
The only flaw in the text I perceive is given the rapid pace of adoption of new electronics and computer equipment in the aviation industry, the text will soon need revision to remain current.
