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 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

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 Advanced Avionics Handbook is a new publication designed to
provide general aviation users with comprehensive information on
advanced avionics equipment available in technically advanced
aircraft. This handbook introduces the pilot to flight operations
in aircraft with the latest integrated "glass cockpit" advanced
avionics systems. This handbook is designed as a technical
reference for pilots who operate aircraft with advanced avionics
systems. Whether flying a conventional aircraft that features a
global positioning system (GPS) navigation receiver or a new
aircraft with the latest integrated "glass cockpit" advanced
avionics system, you should find this handbook helpful in getting
started. The arrival of new technology to general aviation aircraft
has generated noticeable changes in three areas: information,
automation, and options. Pilots now have an unprecedented amount of
information available at their fingertips. Electronic flight
instruments use innovative techniques to determine aircraft
attitude, speed, and altitude, presenting a wealth of information
in one or more integrated presentations. A suite of cockpit
information systems provides pilots with data about aircraft
position, planned route, engine health and performance, as well as
surrounding weather, traffic, and terrain. Advanced avionics
systems can automatically perform many tasks that pilots and
navigators previously did by hand. For example, an area navigation
(RNAV) or flight management system (FMS) unit accepts a list of
points that define a flight route, and automatically performs most
of the course, distance, time, and fuel calculations. Once en
route, the FMS or RNAV unit can continually track the position of
the aircraft with respect to the flight route, and display the
course, time, and distance remaining to each point along the
planned route. An autopilot is capable of automatically steering
the aircraft along the route that has been entered in the FMS or
RNAV system. Advanced avionics perform many functions and replace
the navigator and pilot in most procedures. However, with the
possibility of failure in any given system, the pilot must be able
to perform the necessary functions in the event of an equipment
failure. Pilot ability to perform in the event of equipment
failure(s) means remaining current and proficient in accomplishing
the manual tasks, maintaining control of the aircraft manually
(referring only to standby or backup instrumentation), and adhering
to the air traffic control (ATC) clearance received or requested.
Pilots of modern advanced avionics aircraft must learn and practice
backup procedures to maintain their skills and knowledge. Risk
management principles require the flight crew to always have a
backup or alternative plan, and/or escape route. Advanced avionics
aircraft relieve pilots of much of the minute-to-minute tedium of
everyday flights, but demand much more initial and recurrent
training to retain the skills and knowledge necessary to respond
adequately to failures and emergencies. The FMS or RNAV unit and
autopilot offer the pilot a variety of methods of aircraft
operation. Pilots can perform the navigational tasks themselves and
manually control the aircraft, or choose to automate both of these
tasks and assume a managerial role as the systems perform their
duties. Similarly, information systems now available in the cockpit
provide many options for obtaining data relevant to the flight.
Advanced avionics systems present three important learning
challenges as you develop proficiency: 1. How to operate advanced
avionics systems; 2. Which advanced avionics systems to use and
when; 3. How advanced avionics systems affect the pilot and the way
the pilot flies
Designed for ground instructors, flight instructors, and aviation
maintenance instructors, the Aviation Instructor's Handbook was
developed by the Flight Standards Service, Airman Testing Standards
Branch, in cooperation with aviation educators and industry to help
beginning instructors understand and apply the fundamentals of
instruction. This handbook provides aviation instructors with
up-to-date information on learning and teaching, and how to relate
this information to the task of teaching aeronautical knowledge and
skills to students. Experienced aviation instructors will also find
the updated information useful for improving their effectiveness in
training activities. While this handbook primarily uses the
traditional term "student" to denote someone who is seeking
certification in aviation, the accepted term in educational
psychology is "learners."
Earth's atmosphere, common IFR procedures, high-altitude weather,
and special area weather considerations are thoroughly discussed in
this FAA handbook AC00-6A.
Full color illustrations and photographs throughout.
The Department of Transportation (USDOT or DOT) is a federal
cabinet department of the United States government. The office's
