The "bible" for AMTs, aircraft owners, and homebuilders, this FAA Advisory Circular outlines the standards for acceptable methods, techniques, and practices for the inspection, repair and alteration of non-pressurized areas of civil aircraft with a gross weight of 12,500 lbs or less.
Softcover book includes AC 43.13-1B (Issued Sept 1998; Change 1 Sept 2004; Editorial Update May 2024) and AC 43.13-2B (Issued March 2008).
This handbook for Aviation Mechanics, Aviation Maintenance Technicians
schools (AMT), repair stations, aircraft owners, and homebuilders details the
standards for acceptable methods, techniques, and practices for the inspection,
repair, and alteration of aircraft. It is a compilation of the two most
important Advisory Circulars (ACs) written by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) on this topic—namely, Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and
Practices—Aircraft Inspection and Repair (AC 43.13-1B) and Acceptable Methods,
Techniques, and Practices—Aircraft Alterations (AC 43.13-2B), which are key
references for the Aviation Mechanic FAA Knowledge Exams.
AC 43.13-1B
provides details on the materials and practices, health and safety, inspection,
repair, and finishes for wood structures, fabric covering, fiberglass and
plastics, and metal structures, welding and brazing. It includes chapters
dedicated to nondestructive inspection (NDI), corrosion, inspection and
protection, aircraft hardware, control cables and turnbuckles, engines, fuel,
exhaust, propellers, aircraft systems and components, weight and balance,
electrical systems, avionics, and human factors.
AC 43.13-2B is a manual
filled with details and instructions for the installation of aircraft components
and systems, such as communications, navigation, and emergency systems,
anti-collision and supplementary lights, skis, oxygen systems in non-pressurized
aircraft, rotorcraft external-load devices, cargo slings and external racks,
glider and banner tow-hitches, aircraft batteries and more, including guidance
on adding or relocating instruments.
These combined manuals provide this
pertinent information where no manufacturer repair or maintenance instructions
exist. The details and standards for methods and practices covered are
applicable to non-pressurized civil aircraft with a gross weight of 12,500
pounds or less. Illustrated throughout; includes a glossary, and a list of
useful acronyms and abbreviations.

Q: just need to verify that this is the most current edition, AC43.13-1B & AC43.13-2B. That is what you have pictured, but considering the response to a question you gave on 01/10/08 from another customer, it leads me to be cautious and make sure that this edition includes 1B & 2B from the updates performed in 2008. thanks Charlotte
A: Yes, this is the most current edition that includes the March 2008 update.
Q: Should the manuals not be at 1A Chg 1 and 2B.
