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
topic covered is well-detailed and explained in user-friendly
terms.
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.
Every day in the United States, over two million men, women, and
children step onto an aircraft and place their lives in the hands
of strangers. As anyone who has ever flown knows, modern flight
offers unparalleled advantages in travel and freedom, but it also
comes with grave responsibility and risk. For the first time in its
history, the Federal Aviation Administration has put together a set
of easy-to-understand guidelines and principles that will help
pilots of any skill level minimize risk and maximize safety while
in the air. The "Risk Management Handbook" offers full-color
diagrams and illustrations to help students and pilots visualize
the science of flight, while providing straightforward information
on decision-making and the risk-management process.
Used extensively as a reference source for the FAA Knowledge Exams,
this resource includes basic knowledge that is essential for all
pilots, from beginning students to those pursuing advanced pilot
certificates. This updated guide covers a wide array of fundamental
subjects, including principles of flight, aircraft and engine
structures, charts and graphs, performance calculations, weather
theory, reports, forecasts, and flight manuals. Required reading
for pilots for more than 25 years and formerly published as an
Advisory Circular (AC 61-23C), this new edition is now listed as an
official FAA Handbook.
