Mathematics for Aircraft Maintenance Overview:

As with all ATB EASA modules, Mathematics strictly matches the requirements of Part 66 including its content, sequence, and the required learning levels (L1, 2, 3) needed for an approved B1 mechanics and B2 avionics maintenance technician's program, and is so approved by many national authorities as a part of the training programs of Part 147 schools within their jurisdiction.

As prescribed in Part 66 Appendix 1, the topics are divided into 3 sections:

Arithmetic (L2)
Algebra (L1/2)
Geometry (L1/2)
Complete table of contents is included with the Look Inside link above.

Each topic is explained with understandable text and exceptional full-color illustrations in step-by-step detail. You will learn by understanding concepts and how and why each skill is useful in the day-to-day tasks of the aircraft technician in the aviation maintenance environment. For FAA A&P students, all required topics are covered, however to the somewhat higher level of proficiency as the EASA licenses require.

Mathematics for Aircraft Maintenance manual is presented in 3 chapters:

1] Arithmetic
Arithmetical terms and signs, methods of multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, factors and multiples, weights, measures, and conversion factors, ratio and proportion, averages and percentages, areas and volumes, squares, cubes, and square and cube roots

2] Algebra
a) Evaluating simple algebraic expressions, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, use of brackets, simple algebraic fractions.
b) Linear equations and their solutions, indices and powers, negative and fractional indices, binary and other applicable numbering systems, simultaneous equations and second degree equations with one unknown, logarithms.

3] Geometry
a) Simple geometrical constructions.
b) Graphical representation, nature and uses of graphs, functions.
c) Basic trigonometry, trigonometrical relationships, use of tables, and rectangular and polar coordinates.
