You've read it... you
know you have. An industry mainstay for more than 25 years, the
Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge is one of the first and
most important publications a pilot may read. Previously known as
Advisory Circular (AC) 61-23C, the FAA's new edition of this
popular reference manual accounts for regulatory and procedural
changes that have occurred since the last revision in 1997, and is
re-listed as the FAA-H-8083-25.
Reflecting all of the latest industry procedures and techniques,
the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge is a comprehensive
source for the theory and knowledge required to fly airplanes. This
new edition features full-color illustrations throughout, and has
incorporated the aerodynamics section that was previously found in
Chapter 17 of the former Flight Training Handbook (AC 61-21A). It
is also the official reference source for the questions appearing
on the FAA Knowledge Exams.
This book introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge
that they need as they progress through their pilot training, from
student pilots to those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates.
It includes discussions on: the principles of flight, airplanes and
engines, flight instruments, weight and balance, aircraft
performance, weather, airport operations, airspace, charts and
navigation, aeromedical factors and aeronautical decision
making.
The latest edition, from ASA, is Full-color with illustrations
throughout, softcover, glossary, indexed, and 352 pages. It lists
for $29.95.
