The Glider Flying Handbook is designed as a technical manual for applicants who are preparing for glider category rating and for currently certificated glider pilots who wish to improve their knowledge. Certificated flight instructors will find this handbook a valuable training aid, since detailed coverage of aeronautical decision-making, components and systems, aerodynamics, flight instruments, performance limitations, ground operations, flight maneuvers, traffic patterns, emergencies, soaring weather, soaring techniques, and cross-country flight is included.

This Balloon Flying Handbook introduces the basic pilot knowledge and skills that are essential for piloting balloons. It introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. This handbook is for student pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates. Student pilots learning to fly balloons, certificated pilots preparing for additional balloon ratings or who desire to improve their flying proficiency and aeronautical knowledge, and commercial balloon pilots teaching balloon students how to fly should find this handbook helpful. This book introduces the prospective pilot to the realm of balloon flight and provides information and guidance to all balloon pilots in the performance of various balloon maneuvers and procedures.

This handbook supersedes FAA-H-8261-16A, Instrument Procedures Handbook, dated 2015. It is designed as a technical reference for all pilots who operate under instrument flight rules (IFR) in the National Airspace System (NAS). It expands and updates information contained in the FAA-H-8083-15B, Instrument Flying Handbook, and introduces advanced information for IFR operations. Instrument flight instructors, instrument pilots, and instrument students will also find this handbook a valuable resource since it is used as a reference for the Airline Transport Pilot and Instrument Knowledge Tests and for the Practical Test Standards. It also provides detailed coverage of instrument charts and procedures including IFR takeoff, departure, enroute, arrival, approach, and landing. Safety information covering relevant subjects such as runway incursion, land and hold short operations, controlled flight into terrain, and human factors issues also are included.

This book includes the following topics:Chapter 1 Maps and ChartsChapter 2 Flight PlanningChapter 3 Basic InstrumentsChapter 4 Dead ReckoningChapter 5 Radio Aid FixingChapter 6 Map ReadingChapter 7 Radar NavigationChapter 8 Celestial ConceptsChapter 9 Computing Altitude and True AzimuthChapter 10 Celestial PrecomputationChapter 11 Plotting and Interpreting the Celestial Line of PositionChapter 12 Special Celestial TechniquesChapter 13 Sextants and Errors of ObservationChapter 14 Grid NavigationChapter 15 Pressure Pattern NavigationChapter 16 Navigation Systems

The Airplane Flying Handbook (Federal Aviation Administration) FAA-H-8083-3B provides basic knowledge that is essential for pilots. This handbook introduces basic pilot skills and knowledge that are essential for piloting airplanes. It provides information on transition to other airplanes and the operation of various airplane systems. This handbook is developed to assist student pilots learning to fly airplanes. 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 student and certificated pilots. It 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.

There once was an ugly bug, but her friends have pretty, small eyes, shiny green backs, or nice fluttery wings that they use to hide from birds. The ugly bird thought if she looked like her friends, then she would be more beautiful. She disguises herself, but she looks more tasty to the birds. Ultimately, the young ugly bug learned that just being herself was the best way.
