The Instrument Procedures Handbook is a technical reference manual
for professional pilots who operate under instrument flight rules
(IFR). It provides real-world guidance on how instrument-rated
pilots can best use the system they've trained for, as well as
in-depth coverage of instrument charts and procedures for IFR
takeoff, departure, en route, arrival, approach, and landing.For
every navigation receiver and phase of flight, this handbook
details the required precision that is needed to stay within
protected airspace and make a successful approach. Safety
information for relevant subjects such as runway incursion, land
hand hold short operations, controlled flight into terrain, and
human factors issues are covered here. the emphasis is on airplane
operations, but the book also contains a chapter dedicated to
helicopter instrument procedures.The Instrument Procedures Handbook
expands on the FAA's Instrument Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-15).
This handbook introduces advanced information for IFR operations.
Airline Transport Pilots (ATP), Instrument pilots, Instrument
Flight Instructors (CFIIs), and students preparing for the
instrument rating will find this a valuable resource in studying
for the FAA Knowledge Exams and getting ready for their checkrides.
Illustrated throughout with detailed, full-color drawings and
photographs; also includes acronyms list, glossary and index.Last
updated in 2015, this 2017 edition includes editorial wording
changes for clarity and consistency, updated terminology to reflect
current rules and procedures, while updated graphics and
illustrations improve the appearance, readability and
understanding. In-depth sections on instrument charts and
procedures cover all phases of flight from takeoff to landing. Each
topic covered is well-detailed and explained in user-friendly
terms.
This is the FAA's primary pilot resource for instrument flight
rules (IFR) covering everything pertinent to operating an aircraft
in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or without reference
to outside visuals, relying solely on the information gleaned from
the cockpit. Readers will find chapters on the national airspace
system, the air traffic control system, human factors,
aerodynamics, flight instruments, flight maneuvers for IFR
operations, navigation, emergency operations, as well as helicopter
operations and more.
The material in this manual applies to both conventional
"steam-gauge" analog instrumentation and the "glass cockpit"
electronic flight displays found in advanced aircraft. Information
is well organized into separate coverage of the traditional
"6-pack" and discussions of pictorial "tape" displays. Advanced
systems are covered, including flight management systems, the
primary flight display (PFD) and multi-function display (MFD),
synthetic vision, and traffic advisory systems. The book also
features a synopsis of instrument clearance shorthand, as well as
an instrument training lesson guide.
The "Instrument Flying Handbook" is designed for use by flight
instructors, pilots preparing for the Instrument Rating FAA
Knowledge and Practical Exams, and instrument-rated pilots looking
for a refresher or preparing for an Instrument Proficiency Check
(IPC). Illustrated throughout with detailed, full-color drawings
and photographs; comprehensive glossary and index.
The Federal Aviation Administration's Airplane Flying Handbook
provides pilots, student pilots, aviation instructors, and aviation
specialists with information on every topic needed to qualify for
and excel in the field of aviation. Topics covered include: Ground
operations Cockpit management Flight standards Preflight assessment
of the aircraft Rick and resource management The four fundamentals
of flying Before-takeoff check Integrated flight control Slow
flights Stall recognition and characterization Spins Takeoff
Airport traffic pattens Approaches and landings Ground reference
maneuvers Night operations And much more Updated to include the
most current information, the Airplane Flying Handbook is a great
study guide for current pilots and for potential pilots who are
interested in applying for their first license. It is also the
perfect gift for any aircraft or aeronautical buff.
This operational handbook introduces the basic skills necessary for
acquiring a parachute rigger certificate. It is developed by the
Flight Standards Service, Airman Testing Standards Branch, in
cooperation with various aviation educators and industry. This
handbook is primarily intended to assist individuals who are
preparing for the parachute rigger airman knowledge test and the
oral and practical test. The material presented in this handbook is
appropriate for senior and master parachute riggers. The handbook
contains information on regulations and human factors, design and
construction, materials, operations, inspection and packing, hand
tools, sewing machines, the parachute loft, repairs, alterations,
and manufacture. This handbook conforms to training and
certification concepts established by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). There are different ways of teaching, as well
as performing specific rigging procedures, and many variations in
the explanations of repairs, alterations, and manufacture of
parachutes. The discussion and explanations reflect commonly used
practices and principles. This handbook provides a basic knowledge
that can serve as a foundation on which to build further knowledge.
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). It is essential for
persons using this handbook to also become familiar with and apply
the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and appropriate technical standards.
The Aviation Maintenance Handbook-Powerplant (FAA-H-8083-32) is one
of a series of three handbooks for persons preparing for
certification as a powerplant mechanic. It is intended that this
handbook provide the basic information on principles, fundamentals,
and technical procedures in the subject matter areas relating to
the powerplant rating. It is designed to aid students enrolled in a
formal course of instruction, as well as the individual who is
studying on his or her own. Since the knowledge requirements for
the airframe and powerplant ratings closely parallel each other in
some subject areas, the chapters which discuss fire protection
systems and electrical systems contain some material which is also
duplicated in the Aviation Maintenance Handbook-Airframe
(FAA-H-8083-31). This handbook contains an explanation of the units
that make up each of the systems that bring fuel, air, and ignition
together in an aircraft engine for combustion. It also contains
information on engine construction features, lubrication systems,
exhaust systems, cooling systems, cylinder removal and replacement,
compression checks, and valve adjustments. Because there are so
many different types of aircraft in use today, it is reasonable to
expect that differences exist in airframe components and systems.
To avoid undue repetition, the practice of using representative
systems and units is carried out throughout the handbook. Subject
matter treatment is from a generalized point of view and should be
supplemented by reference to manufacturer's manuals or other
textbooks if more detail is desired. This handbook is not intended
to replace, substitute for, or supersede official regulations or
the manufacturer's instructions.
The Department of Transportation (USDOT or DOT) is a federal
cabinet department of the United States government. The office's
main concerns are those associated with transportation and
transportation needs across the country. Established in 1967, the
DOT is administered by the United States Secretary of
Transportation. Some of the DOT's larger agencies include the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA), the Maritime Administration (MARAD), and the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The Department of
Transportation and its agencies create numerous publications each
year to educate the public about certain areas of transportation,
new technology in the field, and the histories of the agencies and
the department.
