This is the Jeppesen reprint of the FAA's 1999
edition of the Airplane Flying Handbook. It introduces basic
pilot skills and aeronautical knowledge to student pilots. 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 students and certificated pilots.
This is the official FAA reference on learning to fly, and many test questions for all FAA knowledge exams for pilots come from this reference. NOTE: This version of the FAA-H-8083-3 is not the same as ASA's version, which is "FAA-H-8083-3A". ASA's version does NOT include tailwheel airplanes, seaplanes, nor ski-planes; ASA's edition includes turbine-powered airplanes. These types ARE included in this Jeppesen edition. |
