When you are teaching a complicated subject like aviation maintenance, it helps to have good visual aids. The folks at Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA) can assist with that by supplying slides drawn from the pages of the FAA's Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbooks 8083-30B, 8083-31B, and 8083-32B

"The slides are categorized and labeled to make them easy to identify for the chapter and subject you want to use,” according to ASA. “The graphics can be viewed as a slideshow, or you can use individual slides in your own presentation."

The slides, more than 3,000 in all, are pulled from the General, Airframe, and Powerplant FAA Handbooks covering the Aviation Maintenance Technician knowledge requirements including:

Mathematics and physics
Electricity
Aircraft drawings
Weight and balance
Fluid lines and fittings
Cleaning and corrosion control
Aerodynamics
Assembly and rigging
Airframe systems
Reciprocating engines
Turbine engines
Powerplant auxiliary systems

These are all the subjects required by Part 147 and the Aviation Mechanic Airman Certification Standards (ACS-1).

The slides are available from brick-and-mortar stores or online marketplaces for a suggested retail price of $49.95.
