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 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.
(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.
