The FAA’s Airplane Flying Handbook
has been required reading for all pilots for over 40 years, and
introduces the basic pilot skills and knowledge essential for piloting
airplanes. It benefits student pilots just beginning their aviation
endeavors, as well as pilots preparing for additional certificates and
ratings or who want to improve their flying proficiency, and flight
instructors engaged in teaching pilots of all skill levels.
This handbook provides information and guidance on the procedures and
maneuvers required for pilot certification. Chapters are dedicated to
ground operations, basic flight maneuvers, slow flight, stalls, spins,
takeoff and departure climbs, performance and ground reference
maneuvers, airport traffic patterns, approaches and landings, night
operations, emergency procedures, and transitions to different types of
aircraft including complex, multi-engine, tailwheel, turboprop and jets.
The latest edition expands and updates the material that is a key
reference in FAA testing and Airman Certification Standards (ACS), and
it incorporates new areas of safety concerns and technical information
such as loss-of-control upset prevention and recovery training, and
transitioning to light sport airplanes (LSA).
The Airplane Flying Handbook is the official FAA source for
learning to fly and for many of the test questions in the FAA Knowledge
Exams for pilots. Complete with chapter summaries and illustrated
throughout with detailed, full-color drawings and photographs, it also
includes a glossary and index.
