Description:... The report documents the results of a national survey of book publishing firms and aviation maintenance technician schools to (1) identify the text materials used in the training of aviation mechanics; (2) appraise the suitability and availability of identified text materials; and (3) determine the adequacy of the text materials in meeting the curricula requirements of FAR Part 147. The study surveyed 239 book publishing firms and 105 aviation maintenance technician schools. There were 4,349 students who participated in the reading experiment and 103 instructors who administered the reading experiment in 41 aviation maintenance technician schools. Both students and instructors evaluated the text materials used in the reading experimental study. (Modified author abstract).
