Airplane Flying Handbook: FAA-H-8083-3a

The pic showed the updated version of the book I wanted but I got the 1999 edition instead. Not too happy about that ;(

Hi..This book arrived in perfect condition from the seller. I think it is a good source of information for the new student pilot, or a source of enjoyment for wannabees like me. I actually build and fly radio controlled aircraft, so understanding more about flight is a plus. Also from time to time I go up with friends who have their license and its fun to actually know what is going on and how things work.

I am a flight instructor and used this book to teach. This book explains, in detail, all of the maneuvers and procedures necessary to pass your private and commercial pilot practical tests. It is a must have for all pilots of all skill levels, weather you want to study for your test, or just brush-up on your skills.

Hi - Anyone that is in flight school or thinking about beginning I strongly recommend this book. That is if you don't like alot of fill in with wasted words. Great Book. Everytime I re-read it I learn something new.*******

From cover to cover this handbook provides nothing but information! absoutely great!Profusely illustrated, in very clear language, the book discusses in absolute slow motion all the intricate maneuvers, taxiing, takeoffs, climbs, patterns, approaches, landings, instrument, multi engine, tailwheel, sailplane, skiplanes(yep!) and a lot more.Every time I read this book I pickup something new. This is an invaluable resourse especially for the student pilot!Each time I go up in the air, and I come back and read the book, I can say "'aha' thats what was happening, need to try this next time" ! Helps you consiously tone up your flying skills and understand whats going on in the air. also, a great companion on those days you can't fly :).

This is a good book to use during your flight training, and after as you work on more advanced ratings. This book has simple explenation on to preform all the maneuvers you will pretty much eer need for any checkride. That's what i got out of it the most. It also goes into flying mulit and seaplanes, both of which are prety good sections with good info. If you are looking for a book full of aerodynamics and how planes fly this is not it however. This book is simply put, Practical. If you are just starting out in flying, BUY THIS BOOK, as it you will want to refer to it a lot. A must have for any student pilot or teahcer.
