Advanced Avionics Handbook: FAA-H-8083-6 - Softcover

As modern technology continues to revolutionize the science of flight, it is the responsibility of every pilot, student, and flight engineer to be up to date on the most advanced avionics equipment available. The Federal Aviation Administration's Advanced Avionics Handbook is a critical tool for anyone seriously interested in flying modern airplanes. This easy to read handbook introduces pilots and other readers to flight operations in aircrafts with the latest integrated "glass cockpit" advanced avionics systems. Critical topics covered include: which advanced avionics system to use and when, automated flight control, advanced weather data systems, area navigation, primary flight display failures, and more. With the unprecedented amount of information now available at a pilot's fingertips, the Advanced Avionics Handbook is the perfect guide for translating raw scientific data into critical flight intelligence.

The Federal Aviation Administration has its roots in the Air Commerce Act of 1926, but was founded under its current name with the passing of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958. It strives to "provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world."
