Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge FAA Plus Advanced Avionics Handbook FAA

TWO Aviation Handbooks combine into one book! Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, an official Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Handbook; provides basic knowledge that is essential for pilots. This updated handbook introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. This handbook is useful to beginning pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates. Chapters include: 1. Introduction To Flying, 2. Aircraft Structure, 3. Principles of Flight, 4. Aerodynamics of Flight, 5. Flight Controls, 6. Aircraft Systems, 7. Flight Instruments, 8. Flight Manuals and Other Documents, 9. Weight and Balance, 10. Aircraft Performance, 11. Weather Theory, 12. Aviation Weather Services, 13. Airport Operations, 14. Airspace, 15. Navigation, 16. Aeromedical Factors, 17. Aeronautical Decision-Making, Appendix, Glossary, and Index. Detailed specialized information with both color and b&w illustrations, easy to navigate. PLUS: The Advanced Avionics Handbook is a new publication designed to provide general aviation users with comprehensive information on advanced avionics equipment available in technically advanced aircraft. This handbook introduces the pilot to flight operations in aircraft with the latest integrated “glass cockpit” advanced avionics systems. The arrival of new technology to general aviation aircraft has generated noticeable changes in three areas: information, automation, and options. Advanced avionics systems can automatically perform many tasks that pilots and navigators previously did by hand. For example, an area navigation (RNAV) or flight management system (FMS) unit accepts a list of points that define a flight route, and automatically performs most of the course, distance, time, and fuel calculations. Once en route, the FMS or RNAV unit can continually track the position of the aircraft with respect to the flight route, and display the course, time, and distance remaining to each point along the planned route. Chapters include: Introduction to Advanced Avionics; Electronic Flight Instruments; Navigation; Automated Flight Control; Information Systems; Essential Skills Checklist; Glossary
