FULL COLOR publication, incorporating 2011 addendum chapter on
human factors . The "Aviation Maintenance Technician
Handbook-General" was developed as one of a series of three
handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification with
airframe or powerplant ratings, or both. It is intended that this
handbook will provide basic information on principles,
fundamentals, and technical procedures in the subject matter areas
common to both the airframe and powerplant ratings. Emphasis in
this volume is on theory and methods of application. The handbook
is designed to aid students enrolled in a formal course of
instruction preparing for FAA certification as a maintenance
technician, as well as for current technicians who wish to improve
their knowledge. This volume contains information on mathematics,
aircraft drawings, weight and balance, aircraft materials,
processes and tools, physics, electricity, inspection, ground
operations, and FAA regulations governing the certification and
work of maintenance technicians. New to this volume is a section
addressing how successful aviation maintenance technicians
incorporate knowledge and awareness of ethics, professionalism, and
human factors in the field.
This handbook is a tool designed to help recognize and manage risk.
It provides a higher level of training to the pilot in command
(PIC) who wishes to aspire to a greater understanding of the
aviation environment and become a better pilot. This handbook is
for pilots of all aircraft from Weight-Shift Control (WSC) to a
Piper Cub, a Twin Beechcraft, or a Boeing 747. A pilot's continued
interest in building skills is paramount for safe flight and can
assist in rising above the challenges which face pilots of all
backgrounds. Some basic tools are provided in this handbook for
developing a competent evaluation of one's surroundings that allows
for assessing risk and thereby managing it in a positive manner.
Risk management is examined by reviewing the components that affect
risk thereby allowing the pilot to be better prepared to mitigate
risk.
Full color edition. FAA-H-8083-15A. Designed for use by instrument
flight instructors and pilots preparing for instrument rating
tests.
Illustrated in full color throughout. The Airplane Flying Handbook
is designed as a technical manual to introduce basic pilot skills
and knowledge that are essential for piloting airplanes. It
provides information on transition to other airplanes and the
operation of various airplane systems. It is developed by the
Flight Standards Service, Airman Testing Standards Branch, in
cooperation with various aviation educators and industry. This
handbook is developed to assist student pilots learning to fly
airplanes. It is also beneficial to pilots who wish to improve
their flying proficiency and aeronautical knowledge, those pilots
preparing for additional certificates or ratings, and flight
instructors engaged in the instruction of both student and
certificated pilots. It introduces the future pilot to the realm of
flight and provides information and guidance in the performance of
procedures and maneuvers required for pilot certification. Topics
such as navigation and communication, meteorology, use of flight
information publications, regulations, and aeronautical decision
making are available in other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
publications.
Illustrated in full color throughout. FAA-H-8083-11A. Provides
basic pilot knowledge and skills essential for piloting balloons.
The Rotorcraft Flying Handbook is designed as a technical manual
for applicants who are preparing for their private, commercial, or
flight instructor pilot certificates with a helicopter or gyroplane
class rating. Certificated flight instructors may find this
handbook a valuable training aid, since detailed coverage of
aerodynamics, flight controls, systems, performance, flight
maneuvers, emergencies, and aeronautical decision making is
included. Topics, such as weather, navigation, radio navigation and
communications, use of flight information publications, and
regulations are available in other Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) publications. This handbook conforms to pilot training and
certification concepts established by the FAA. There are different
ways of teaching, as well as performing flight procedures and
maneuvers, and many variations in the explanations of aerodynamic
theories and principles. This handbook adopts a selective method
and concept to flying helicopters and gyroplanes. 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).
This handbook is divided into two parts. The first part, chapters 1
through 14, covers helicopters, and the second part, chapters 15
through 22, covers gyroplanes. The glossary and index apply to both
parts. It is essential for persons using this handbook to also
become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and
the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Performance standards
for demonstrating competence required for pilot certification are
prescribed in the appropriate rotorcraft practical test standard.
This handbook supersedes Advisory Circular (AC) 61-13B, Basic
Helicopter Handbook, dated 1978. In addition, all or part of the
information contained in the following advisory circulars are
included in this handbook: AC 90- 87, Helicopter Dynamic Rollover;
AC 90-95, Unanticipated Right Yaw in Helicopters; AC 91-32B, Safety
in and around Helicopters; and AC 91-42D, Hazards of Rotating
Propeller and Helicopter Rotor Blades. FAA-H-8083-21
Earth's atmosphere, common IFR procedures, high-altitude weather,
and special area weather considerations are thoroughly discussed in
this FAA handbook AC00-6A.

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.
