Point to what you need

For the structures mechanic working in someone else's hangar. The back carries 150 drawings in a 10 × 15 grid of what you ask for on the job: drills by number and fraction, countersinking, cutting and forming, riveting, marking and gauges, fastener removal, rivets and sections, the air line and the light to check a hole, each one named in English.

No shared language needed: turn round and let them point to it on your back. The small logo goes on the front.

Questions people actually ask

What can I buy here?

The things we make and sell ourselves: reference books for the bench, the stores and the classroom, printed wall charts, an offline pack of the data sheets and charts, and a few pieces of merchandise. Aviation products from other sellers stay in the catalog.

Are the books and charts the same data as the site?

Yes. They are generated from the same data, with the same sources, and carry the same revision. When a number changes on the site, the next edition changes with it.

Can I use a book or a chart as approved data?

No. They are a bench reference. The maintenance manual, the structural repair manual or the approved repair data for your aircraft governs, and where they differ, those win.

Which wall chart sizes are there?

One printed size, 18 × 24 in (457 × 610 mm). The free versions come as A4 and A3 PDFs.

Is there a free version of the wall charts?

Yes. The same four charts as A4 and A3 PDFs, free in exchange for your email address. They come in your first email.

How does shipping work?

Orders ship to your door. The shipping cost and the taxes show at checkout, before you pay.

Before you buy

Books, charts and the offline pack are reference material, not approved data. The manual for your aircraft governs.

Orders, shipping, returns and taxes are handled at checkout, where their terms show before you pay.
