(REVISED TEXT 2014) The Glider Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-13A)
2013 Edition - This is the FAA's primary technical manual for the
required aeronautical knowledge necessary to operate a glider. It
is essential reading for applicants preparing for the exams for
private, commercial, or flight instructor pilot certificates with a
glider rating, as well as for currently certificated glider pilots
who wish to improve their knowledge. Flight instructors will find
this handbook a valuable training aid since it includes detailed
coverage of aeronautical decision making, components and systems,
aerodynamics, flight instruments, performance limitations, ground
operations, flight maneuvers, traffic patterns, emergencies,
soaring weather, soaring techniques, and cross-country flight. The
Glider Flying Handbook is designed as a technical manual for
applicants who are preparing for glider category rating and for
currently certificated glider pilots who wish to improve their
knowledge. Certificated flight instructors will find this handbook
a valuable training aid, since detailed coverage of aeronautical
decision-making, components and systems, aerodynamics, flight
instruments, performance limitations, ground operations, flight
maneuvers, traffic patterns, emergencies, soaring weather, soaring
techniques, and cross-country flight is included. Topics such as
radio navigation and communication, use of flight information
publications, and regulations are available in other Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) publications. The discussion and
explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and
principles. Occasionally, the word "must" or similar language is
used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such
language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty
imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
Persons working towards a glider rating are advised to review the
references from the applicable practical test standards
(FAA-G-8082-4, Sport Pilot and Flight Instructor with a Sport Pilot
Rating Knowledge Test Guide, FAA-G-8082-5, Commercial Pilot
Knowledge Test Guide, and FAA-G-8082-17, Recreational Pilot and
Private Pilot Knowledge Test Guide). Resources for study include
FAA-H-8083-25, Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge,
FAA-H-8083-2, Risk Management Handbook, and Advisory Circular (AC)
00-6, Aviation Weather For Pilots and Flight Operations Personnel,
AC 00-45, Aviation Weather Services, as these documents contain
basic material not duplicated herein. All beginning applicants
should refer to FAA-H-8083-25, Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical
Knowledge, for study and basic library reference. This handbook
supersedes FAA-H-8083-13, Glider Flying Handbook, dated 2003.
