Advanced Avionics Handbook (FAA-H-8083-6).pdf
Taken from Preface: 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.
Student Pilot Guide (FAA-H-8083-27A).pdf
The FAA develops and makes available to the public various sources of aeronautical information. Some of this information is free; other information is available at a nominal cost. Of particular interest and value to those persons getting started in flying are: FAA-H-8083-27A, Student Pilot Guide; FAA-H-8083-3, Airplane Flying Handbook; FAA-H-8083-25, Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge; Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM); and Practical Test Standards (PTSs). In addition, many aviation publications are available from commercial sources.
Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge 2008.pdf (FAA-H-8083-25A)
The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge provides basic knowledge for the student pilot learning to fly, as well as pilots seeking advanced pilot certification. For detailed information on a variety of specialized flight topics, see specific Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) handbooks and Advisory Circulars (ACs).
Utility and Cargo Helicopter Operations (FM 3-04.113).pdf
Taken from Preface: Field manual (FM) 3-04.113 is intended for use by commanders, staffs, and United States (U.S.) military personnel expecting to operate and employ Army aviation assault and/or general support (GS) helicopter units.
Technically Advanced Aircraft Plans of Action for Pilot Examiners.pdf
Flight testing should be reasonable and quite similar among DPEs, and as close to realistic as possible so that the training will focus on useful and necessary skills. Examiners should be sensitive to the complexity of the equipment and provide an environment that will allow enough time between tasks to achieve a fair evaluation. The FAA will provide guidance on the correct procedures for simulating the failure of equipment. More use of the autopilot would be normal with this equipment in real life, so we should allow more use of it on a flight test.
