These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 64 topics.
A customer rolls an amateur-built experimental into the hangar and asks you for its annual. You stop for a second: does Part 43 even apply to this airplane?
You've read 43.1, but the manual hands it to you as a paragraph of exceptions inside exceptions. The rule gets lost in the sentence, and by the next night it's gone again.
In the book, 43.1 is one page: any U.S. airworthiness certificate except experimental on one side, Part 43 applies; amateur-built experimental on the other, condition inspection, not an annual. You see the split before you read a word.
Same with major vs. minor, approved vs. acceptable data, Form 337 block by block, ADs and the 43.9 entry: each one has its own page.
So when the question comes up, on the test or at the bench, you know where it falls and you answer it without opening the regs again.
The IA itself, airworthiness and its papers, Part 43, major or minor and which data, Form 337, inspections, ADs and records, logbook entries and weight and balance, and a final review: 68 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You've just finished a repair on a customer's single-engine airplane. The owner wants it back tomorrow, and you have to make the call: major or minor, Form 337 or logbook only?
You open the book to the 4-step path and the four boxes are drawn in order: major or minor, which data backs it, 337 or logbook, who signs and what they write.
The same with annual vs. 100-hour, the 10-hour allowance, whether an AD applies, Block 8 of the 337 and the annual entry for an airplane that isn't airworthy: each one on its own page.
Inspection Authorization Illustrated is 9 parts and 64 topics, all drawn, and it ends with the numbers to know cold, the frequent logbook and 337 mistakes and a regulation map.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Know exactly what the IA lets you sign that your A&P doesn't, check yourself against the 65.91 eligibility list, apply at the FSDO and keep it current: expiration, renewal activities and moving your fixed base.
Airworthy in its two conditions, reading a TCDS, STCs, airworthiness limitations and ICA, AROW, required vs. inoperative equipment and the owner's duties under 91.403, 405 and 407.
Where Part 43 applies, overhauled vs. rebuilt, who may perform maintenance, the Appendix A preventive list, who approves for return to service and the 43.13 performance rule.
Make the major-or-minor call with the 4-step path: the Part 1 definition, the Appendix A lists, the gray zone, approved vs. acceptable data, when AC 43.13-1B counts as approved and when you need a field approval.
Decide 337 or logbook only at a glance, fill in the form block by block, from aircraft and owner to the description of work, and know where each copy goes within 48 hours.
Annual vs. 100-hour, the 10-hour allowance, counting calendar months, progressive inspection, Appendix D, the runup, life-limited parts, discrepancies and the static, transponder and ELT calendars.
What an AD is, the three kinds, whether it applies, recurring, one-time, terminating and AMOC, the AD status record, 91.417 record keeping, transfer and falsification.
The 43.9 entry, the 43.11 annual entry airworthy and not airworthy, the major repair and alteration entry, the AD compliance entry and weight and balance before and after an alteration.
The 4-step path on one page, the numbers to know cold, frequent logbook and Form 337 mistakes and a map of where each rule lives.
At the end of the book: The 4-step path on one page, the numbers to know cold, frequent logbook and Form 337 mistakes and a regulation map.
Practice with exam-style questions on Parts 43, 65 and 91, and every answer points you back to the page and the regulation behind it.
See the most frequent logbook-entry and Form 337 mistakes side by side with the corrected version, so you review the paperwork in minutes.

Yes. It doesn't teach you the airplane, you know that already. It draws the regulatory side of the IA: inspections, major vs. minor, data, Form 337, ADs and logbook entries.
From 14 CFR Parts 39, 43, 65 and 91 as published on the eCFR when the book was written, plus AC 43-9C, AC 43.13-1B and the FAA Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook. Every page prints the exact section it's based on, so you can check it against today's eCFR in seconds.
