Airplane Flying Handbook
 - 7 customer reviews.
The FAA's Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-8083-3A and previously called Flight
Training Handbook) has been required reading for all pilots for more than 30
years! This book introduces the basic pilot skills and knowledge essential for
piloting airplanes. It benefits student pilots just beginning their aviation
endeavors, as well as those pilots wishing to improve their flying proficiency
and aeronautical knowledge, pilots preparing for additional certificates or
ratings, and flight instructors engaged in the instruction of both students and
licensed pilots.
This new Edition features full-color illustrations, and expands all technical
subject areas from the previous 1999 edition. In addition to updating the
existing material, it also incorporates new areas of safety concerns and
technical information not previously covered, such as runway incursion
avoidance, use of checklists, positive transfer of controls when 2 pilots are
flying together, and transitioning to turboprop and jet-powered airplanes.
This handbook 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. It contains chapters dedicated to the introduction to
flight training, ground operations, basic flight maneuvers, slow flight, stalls,
and spins, takeoff and departure climbs, ground reference maneuvers, airport
traffic patterns, approaches and landings, performance maneuvers, night
operations, transition to complex airplanes, transition to multiengine
airplanes, transition to tailwheel airplanes, transition to turboprop powered
airplanes, transition to jet powered airplanes, and emergency procedures.
This book is the official FAA source for learning to fly and many test
questions for the FAA Knowledge Exams for pilots come from this reference.
Illustrated throughout with full-color graphics and photography, and includes an
index.
Soft cover, indexed, full-color illustrations, 8-3/8" x 10-7/8" format, 280
pages.

Everything You Need
by Mark from Nezperce ID USA
Pros: Thorough without being 1000 pages.
Cons: Explanations may be required from instructors and fellow pilots. Not a big "con" at all.
Review: The Airplane Flying Handbook is complete, and if I understand correctly, it contains the material that is deemed mandatory for any approved textbook. It's somewhere between ASA's Complete Private Pilot and Jeppesen's Guided Flight Discovery in terms of complexity. For the student that wants the most direct path to the PPL I highly recommend the Airplane Flying Handbook for a text combined with the ASA test prepware for examination readiness.

Excellent Handbook
by Thomas from Berkeley CA USA
Pros: Easy to understand and to the point
Cons: Not mandatory
Review: Very insightful and well written book, I had a couple of eureka moments after studying it and then applying the theory in practice. I recommend this to anyone studying to become a pilot or moving up to complex airplane or multiengine ratings. Every flight student should read this along with the Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge from day one.

What a great visual book!!
by Andrew from Fairview N.C.
Pros: Clear and wonderful illustrations
Cons: None at all
Review: This book is clearly to me one of the best book regarding exactly what the title says "Airplane Flying" whether your flying a single engine to a jet, VFR or IFR this both has it all. Even though this book does not seem to be a beginning flying manual (meaning that it does not deal with the bare basics of flying) it explains everything a experienced or new pilot in training would ask in great detail both in words and in color demonstrations. This is the ultimate supplement to any student or even professional Pilot there is.
