Today's aerospace enterprise is among the most technically complex systems ever devised. The demands on the National Airspace System plus the impact of evolving technology, rising traffic volumes, and the implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System create an environment where assumptions must be continually tested and validated using robust feedback loops. Recognizing the scope of this increasing complexity, the Administrator recently reinforced the importance of building upon the ability of the Federal Aviation Administration Safety Management System to find the issues,...

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. 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...

The Flight Navigator Handbook provides information on all phases of air navigation. It is a source of reference for navigators and navigator students. This handbook explains how to measure, chart the earth, and use flight instruments to solve basic navigation problems. It also contains data pertaining to flight publications, preflight planning, in-flight procedures, and low altitude navigation. A listing of references and supporting information used in this publication is at Appendix A; mathematical formulas to use as an aid in preflight and in-flight computations are at Appendix B; chart and...

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the Remote Pilot - Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Study Guide to communicate the knowledge areas you need to study to prepare to take the Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS rating airman knowledge test

Edition of this title includes the FAA's "Change 2" revision for Advisory Circular 00-45G. This text thoroughly explains the many U.S. aviation weather products and services available to pilots. Weather product examples and explanations are taken primarily from the Aviation Weather Center's Aviation Digital Data Service website. The AC provides hundreds of weather website addresses for weather resources and definitions. Aviation Weather Services is the main resource to use when studying for pilot certification exams and should remain a part of every aviator's library. Includes weather station...
