Hi all, I am thinking about getting back into the maintenance field and I need some advice.  I was in the air force for 8 years which is where I got my start.  I worked on B-52H's in that time.  I seperated from the military and I just recently decided that I wanted to work on planes again.  I got my A&P applicaton endorsed today by the FAA, and i'm looking to start the testing process soon. 

Can anyone give me some advice in good books or information to prepare myself for the test.  I noticed that there is a million avation books out there, so I wanted to ask the experts what they think.  Any advice would be very helpfull....thanks in advance.

ASA test prep software general airframe and powerplant 08 is a good start, it will get you ready for the real test. Once you start scoring in the high 80's  consistantly, you are ready. And at $90 a wack for the real test, the less likely you want to take it any more times than you have to. The software cost anywhere from $95-$125 depending on where you get it. As for which books, I would go with the JeppesenSeries, as it has a complete interlocking leaning system, testbook, workbook, and testguide. The other book you need to get is the A&P Bible the AC43.13-1b/2a (MAKE SURE YOU GET THE -1B/2A EDITION AS SOME PEOPLE WILL STILL TRY TO SELL YOU THE OLD AND OUTDATED-1A).
That should be a good starting point. I do most of my book shopping at amtbooks.com, but sometimes amazon runs a good deal. Shop around and find who offers the best deal.

Stay away, far away!  Go get into the medical field if possible or some thing industrial etc.

This industry is to volatile.   Heck, im making 10k less vs 3 years ago with Delta so im leaving.

forget the books, if you want your license now and you have some brain power in reserve just waiting to be used, Spend $1000.00 go to Daytona Fl. and see Russell King at King School of Aeronautics.  Spend one week in school get your license.  It's worth it.
