These are available for free from the FAA web site. Here is the Airplane Flying Handbook: http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aircraft/airplane_handbook and here is the Instrument Flying Handbook: http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/a..._flying_handbo ok Also, here's the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge: http://www.faa.gov/pilots/training/handbook I had downloaded the PDFs of the FAA's books before I went out and bought the print versions. Why, some of you may ask, would I pay good money for something I already had free electronic copies? Because it's tough to haul my desktop (or even laptop) computer into the (ahem) bathroom, or to the easy chair in the living room, or prop on my chest while lying in bed. :-) |

Printer cartridges and paper surely is cheaper? Allen |

Printer cartridges and paper surely is cheaper? I'm not sure if there is a big difference. My laser printer only does black and white anyway (and my wife's color inkjet is very slow). And there is the need for some binding. On very long electronic documents I tend to opt for print copies if the cost isn't too bad and the time to get them isn't critical. All things considered I found it easier to order the books from Amazon. |
