Advanced Avionics, Handbook, 2009, 115 pages
This handbook is designed as a
technical reference for pilots who operate
aircraft with advanced avionics systems. Whether
flying a conventional aircraft that features a
global positioning system (GPS) navigation
receiver or a new aircraft with the latest
integrated “glass cockpit” advanced avionics
system, you should find this handbook helpful in
getting started. The arrival of new technology
to general aviation aircraft has generated
noticeable changes in three areas: information,
automation, and options.
Pilots now have an unprecedented
amount of information available at their
fingertips. Electronic flight instruments use
innovative techniques to determine aircraft
attitude, speed, and altitude, presenting a
wealth of information in one or more integrated
presentations. A suite of cockpit information
systems provides pilots with data about aircraft
position, planned route, engine health and
performance, as well as surrounding weather,
traffic, and terrain. |

Airplane Flying Handbook, 2004, 281 pages
The Airplane Flying Handbook is designed
as a technical manual to introduce 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. It is developed by
the Flight Standards Service, Airman Testing
Standards Branch, in cooperation with various
aviation educators and industry.
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. Topics such as navigation and
communication, meteorology, use of flight
information publications, regulations, and
aeronautical decision making are available in
other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
publications.

Aviation Instructor’s Handbook, 2008, 228 pages
Designed for ground instructors, flight
instructors, and aviation maintenance
instructors, the Aviation Instructor’s Handbook
was developed by the Flight Standards Service,
Airman Testing Standards Branch, in cooperation
with aviation educators and industry to help
beginning instructors understand and apply the
fundamentals of instruction. This handbook
provides aviation instructors with up-to-date
information on learning and teaching, and how to
relate this information to the task of teaching
aeronautical knowledge and skills to students.
Experienced aviation instructors will also find
the updated information useful for improving
their effectiveness in training activities.
While this handbook primarily uses the
traditional term "student" to denote someone who
is seeking certification in aviation, the
accepted term in educational psychology is
"learners."

Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook,
Airframe, Volume 1, 2012, 588 pages
This volume contains information
on airframe construction features, assembly and
rigging, fabric covering, structural repairs,
and aircraft welding. The handbook also contains
an explanation of the units that make up the
various airframe systems. Because there are so
many different types of aircraft in use today,
it is reasonable to expect that differences
exist in airframe components and systems. To
avoid undue repetition, the practice of using
representative systems and units is carried out
throughout the handbook. Subject matter
treatment is from a generalized point of view
and should be supplemented by reference to
manufacturer's manuals or other textbooks if
more detail is desired. This handbook is not
intended to replace, substitute for, or
supersede official regulations or the
manufacturer’s instructions.
It
is intended that this handbook provide the
basic information on principles, fundamentals,
and technical procedures in the subject matter
areas relating to the airframe
rating. |

assembly and rigging, fabric covering,
structural repairs, and aircraft welding. The
handbook also contains an explanation of the
units that make up the various airframe systems.
Because there are so many different types of
aircraft in use today, it is reasonable to

Aviation Maintenance Technician General
Handbook, 2008, 686 pages
The Aviation Maintenance Technician
Handbook—General was developed as one of a
series of three handbooks (the other 2 included
on this disk as well) for persons preparing for
mechanic certification with airframe or
powerplant ratings, or both. It is intended that
this handbook will provide basic information on
principles, fundamentals, and technical
procedures in the subject matter areas common to
both the airframe and powerplant ratings.
Emphasis in this volume is on theory and methods
of application.
The handbook is designed to aid
students enrolled in a formal course of
instruction preparing for FAA certification as a
maintenance technician, as well as for current
technicians who wish to improve their knowledge.
This volume contains information on mathematics,
aircraft drawings, weight and balance, aircraft
materials, processes and tools, physics,
electricity, inspection, ground operations, and
FAA regulations governing the certification and
work of maintenance technicians. New to this
volume is a section addressing how successful
aviation maintenance technicians incorporate
knowledge and awareness of ethics,
professionalism, and human factors in the
field.

Aviation Maintenance Technician
Handbook, Powerplant, Volume 1, 2012, 282 pages
The Aviation Maintenance
Technician Handbook–Powerplant is one of a
series of three handbooks (included on this
disk) for persons preparing for certification as
a powerplant mechanic. It is intended that this
handbook provide the basic information on
principles, fundamentals, and technical
procedures in the subject matter areas relating
to the powerplant rating. It is designed to aid
students enrolled in a formal course of
instruction, as well as the individual who is
studying on his or her own. Since the
knowledge requirements for the airframe and
powerplant ratings closely parallel each other
in some subject areas, the chapters which
discuss fire protection systems and electrical
systems contain some material which is also
duplicated in the Aviation Maintenance
Technician Handbook–Airframe.
This handbook contains an
explanation of the units that make up each of
the systems that bring fuel, air, and ignition
together in an aircraft engine for combustion.
It also contains information on engine
construction features, lubrication systems,
exhaust systems, cooling systems, cylinder
removal and replacement, compression checks, and
valve adjustments. Because there are so many
different types of aircraft in use today, it is
reasonable to expect that differences exist in
airframe components and systems. |

Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, 434 pages
The purpose of this textbook is
to present the elements of applied aerodynamics
and aeronautical engineering which relate
directly to the problems of flying operations.
All Naval Aviators possess a natural interest in
the basic aerodynamic factors which affect the
performance of all aircraft. Due .to the
increasing complexity of modern aircraft, this
natural interest must be applied to develop a
sound understanding of basic engineering
principles and an appreciation of some of the
more advanced problems of aerodynamics and
engineering. The safety and effectiveness of
flying operations will depend greatly on the
understanding and appreciation of how and why an
airplane flies. The principles of aerodynamics
will provide the foundations for developing
exacting and precise flying techniques and
operational procedures.
The content of this textbook has been arranged
to provide as complete as possible a reference
for all phases of flying in Naval Aviation.
Hence, the text material is applicable to the
problems of flight training, transition
training, and general flying operations. The
manner of presentation throughout the text has
been designed to provide the elements of both
theory and application and will allow either
directed or unassisted study. As a result, the
text material will be applicable to supplement
formal class Iectures and briefings and provide
reading material as a background for training
and flying operations.
