AIRPLANE FLYING
HANDBOOKS
TWO SEPARATE HANDBOOKS
Overview
• Present a “heads up” look at the
changes in the Flight Training Handbook
which has become the Basic Airplane
Flying Handbook.
• Present you with a brief overview of key
subject areas in each chapter by:
– introducing you to significant
changes,
– discussing new subject areas, and
– mentioning significant areas which
have been deleted.
