Product Description

Required reading for pilots for more than 25 years, this handbook is used extensively as a reference source for the FAA Knowledge Exams and provides information for training and guiding student pilots. Including basic knowledge that is essential for all pilots, from beginning students to those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates, it introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress through their pilot training. Principles of flight, aircraft and engine structures and systems, weight/balance and performance calculations, charts and navigation, weather theory, reports, forecasts, and flight manuals are among the subjects covered. Formerly published as an Advisory Circular (AC 61-23C), this new edition is now listed as an official FAA Handbook (#FAA-H-8083-25).

Standard Reference by the FAA- Excellent for New Pilot Study4
There are many reference books for Pilots. This is carefully designed by the Federal Aviation Agency as a test preparation reference. It is good, authoritative and has been upgraded relatively recently.

Good book but there is better4
This is the "official" FAA text on the subject.
However, it took some determination to get all the way through.
I much preferred Rod Machado's book. His humor can be a bit corny but you'll get through the book and understand the material much better.

Everything I was looking for5
I needed the PHAK for my aviation class @ SIU and the bookstores here were out. How they were out of PHAKS when there's only 70 students I don't know. I ordered it off of amazon and it was exactly what I was looking for.
