FAA Publications - FAA Instrument Flying Handbook

Last updated in 2001, this new 8083-15A edition supersedes 8083-15 and features information applicable to both conventional steam-gauge instrumentation and 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, flight management systems (FMS), primary flight display (PFD) and multi-function display (MFD), synthetic vision, advanced technology systems such as ADS, and safety systems such as traffic advisory systems.

This new edition also incorporates the FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS) tenets, to include 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. The book continues to feature an appendix on both clearance shorthand and an instrument rating training syllabus as well as a comprehensive glossary and index. Soft cover, 392 pages.
