The Basic
Helicopter Handbook (Advisory Circular 61-13B) has been
rewritten and renamed the Rotorcraft Flying Handbook. Written
for applicants preparing for the private, commercial, or flight
instructor certificate with a helicopter or gyroplane class
rating, the book is also valuable to flight instructors as a
teaching aid. Both aeronautical knowledge and skill for
operating rotorcraft are covered. The book is broken into two
sections: the first dedicated to helicopters, and the second
dedicated to gyroplanes. Each section includes chapters covering
aerodynamics, flight controls, systems, the rotorcraft flight
manual, flight maneuvers, emergencies, and aeronautical decision
making. In addition, the helicopter section includes chapters on
weight and balance, performance, attitude instrument flying, and
night operations. The book concludes with a comprehensive
glossary and index. This new FAA-H-8083-21 replaces the AC
61-13B, and is the official source for all rotorcraft questions
appearing on the FAA Knowledge Exams. 8 1/4" x 10 3/4", full
color, 208-pager format, includes both a glossary and index;
illustrated throughout.

For veteran
members of the
flying
community, the
question “How do
I get a Pilot’s
License?” seems
to have a simple
answer. But for
the uninitiated,
it is a task
that can seem
overwhelming.
Before beginning
flight training,
it is important
to have a basic
understanding of
the
responsibilities,
safety
regulations, and
other issues you
will face,
including the
choice of a
flight school,
selecting study
materials, study
habits, and the
role of the
instructor,
student, and
Federal Aviation
Administration
(FAA). This
guide lays out
for prospective
student pilots
and for those
already engaged
in flight
training, in
“how to”
fashion, the
general
procedures for
obtaining FAA
student pilot,
sport pilot,
recreational
pilot, and
private pilot
certificates.

This
primary FAA source
handbook for the
Knowledge Exams covers
the FR system as well
as aerodynamics, flight
instrumentation,
attitude flying and
navigation as they apply
to the instrument pilot.
This new
edition features
information applicable
to both conventional
steam-gauge
instrumentation as well
as glass cockpits found
in technically advanced
aircraft (TAA). The new
information is well
separated from the
traditional discussions
of the "6-pack" and
covers flight support
systems (AHRS and ADC),
pictorial displays,
flihgt management
systems (FMS), primary
flight display (PFD) and
multi-function display (MFD),
synthetic vision,
advanced technology
systems such as ADS, and
safey systems such as
traffic advisory
systems. Also
incorporated are
FAA/Industry Training
Standards (FITS) tenets
such as single-pilot
resource management,
scenario-based training,
and learner-centered
grading. Hazard
identification, as well
as task management,
automation management,
and risk management
supplement the human
factors discussion. The
chapters on attitude
instrument flying and
basic flight maneuvers
are split into separate
sections dedicated to
analog instrumentation
and electronic flight
displays. The chapter on
emergency operations has
been expanded to include
the failures applicable
to operating a TAA.
Includes an instrument
rating training
syllabus, a clearance
shorthand appendix, and
a comprehensive glossary
and index - PDF
