I should add the the FAA editors substituted their own biases and changed a
lot of the text submitted to them...gives me the opportunity to blame them
for anything you don't like (:-).

ASA also did the W&B Handbook (8083-1). I think Jepp did the Airplane Flying
Handbook, with its horrible index....like everything else in the government,
the low bidder gets the job. Bill Kershner tells me that he has had bad
experience with the FAA using his material without compensation or
permission in the past and will not bid on any of the rewrites.

The FAA did the recent IFH, which has lots of bum info.

jbo,
I'm roughly in the same position as you and I've found that reading
the
AIM
really helps more than ever. I've been teaching a instrument rating
ground
school and honestly the answers to most of the students questions are
in
the
AIM. Although the main objective is for the students to prepare for
the
FAA
test, we've been useing Peger Dogan's book to apply theory to real
world
flying. The IFH is also used in this aspect and it's really one of
the
FAA's better books.
