Here is a new and exceptional avionics book that everyone will appreciate.
Although its title is Avionics Repair, it really should be called AVIONICS
INSTALLATION, and how to integrate it with the rest of your electrical system
and panel for troublefree future operation. The "repair" portions are more
about system troubleshooting, then in actually repairing circuitboards or other
internal components within devices. The trouble shooting sections show how to
diagnose faults, how to plan or build against them, and how to understand the
causes of problems. It is very up-to-date, very complete, and without a doubt,
a great asset for anyone designing and installing new or upgraded system.
It's on the front page and "electrical & panel" section on LML Bookstore at:
