The FAA's Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-8083-3C and previously called Flight
Training Handbook) has been required reading for all pilots for over 45 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.
Soft cover, indexed, full-color illustrations, 8-3/8" x 10-7/8" format, 416
pages.

Nice Printing
- By Craig from Westerville OH USA on Tuesday, February 21, 2017
- Pros: color printing and nice reproduction!
- Review: My default supplier for almost everything is Amazon, however when I went to order this book there, many reviews of the Pilot Flying Handbook slammed amazon suppliers for poor quality printing and black/white reproduction. I'm glad that I ordered this book from MyPilotStore, because the printing is full color and very nicely done. Definitely buy this book from this source!

Everything You Need
- By Mark from Nezperce ID USA on Thursday, June 03, 2010
- Pros: Thorough without being 1000 pages.
- 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 on Friday, May 15, 2009
- Pros: Easy to understand and to the point
- 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. on Monday, January 14, 2008
- Pros: Clear and wonderful illustrations
- 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.

Everything You Need

- Pros: Thorough without being 1000 pages.
