The latest edition of the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook has been released by Aviation Supplies & Academics.
The FAA Airplane Flying Handbook, which introduces basic pilot skills and provides information and guidance on the procedures and maneuvers required for pilot certification, was last updated in 2016.
Updates include new areas of safety concerns and technical information, such as loss-of-control upset prevention and recovery training and energy management.
The softcover book is $24.95, while the eBook is $19.95. You can get both in a bundle for $29.95.
The PDF version is available directly from the FAA at no charge: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/airplane_handbook/
I was thinking the same thing, Eric.
Thanks for the link!
I believe further revisions will be forthcoming as EVTOL further develops and as advances in propulsion systems continue to be developed. For those who still feel EVTOL won’t become a reality within the next five years simply haven’t been paying attention.
Las leyes de física son leyes o enunciados , es una cuestión de semántica , pero la física de Newton sigue siendo la misma. La cuestión que aún dicutimos es porqué vuela un avión y pienso que para eso primero tendríamos que definir que es el vuelo de un aerodino , porque como dice un colega : con un motor potente vuela hasta un ladrillo. (The laws of physics are laws or statements, it is a matter of semantics, but Newton’s physics remains the same. The question that we are still discussing is why an airplane flies and I think that for that we would first have to define what an aerodynamic flight is, because as a colleague says: with a powerful engine it flies up to a brick.)
Dan, read up on Rich Stowell’s “Learn to turn” Program and you will see that the FAA has been behind the times in these areas and are finally catching up on properly training new pilots in these areas!

This really good since GA airplanes and the laws of physics have changed so much since 2016. Almost as much as they have over the last 50 years. Well I guess you have to justify your job.
That’s a pretty cynical viewpoint. Would you prefer it never be updated?
The Laws of Physics, which are really not laws, but are scientist’s understanding of the physical world, may not change much, but our understanding changes. And new technologies (avionics), safety enhancements, rules, and techniques certainly change over time.
I’ve been flying for the past 50 years, and I welcome the revision.
