Originally written in 1970 as an Advisory Circular and last updated in 1999, this new FAA-H-8083-30 handbook replaces AC 65-9A and reflects current operating procedures, regulations, and equipment. This book was developed as the first of a series of three handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification with airframe or powerplant ratings, or both - those seeking an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Certificate, also called an A&amp;P license. An effective text for both students and instructors, this handbook will also serve as an invaluable reference guide for current technicians who wish to improve their knowledge. This edition contains information on mathematics, aircraft drawings, weight and balance, aircraft materials, processes and tools, physics, electricity, inspection, ground operations, and FAA regulations governing the certification and work of maintenance technicians. New to this edition is a section addressing how successful AMTs incorporate knowledge and awareness of ethics, professionalism, and human factors in the field.

This Airframe volume was developed as the second in a series of three handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification - those seeking an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Certificate, also called an A&amp;P license. An effective text for both students and instructors, this handbook will also serve as an invaluable reference guide for already-certificated technicians who wish to improve their knowledge. This FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 65-15A contains information on aircraft structures and systems, including assembly and rigging, fabric covering, paint and finishing, structural repairs, welding, ice and rain protection, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems, and the systems for landing gear, fire protection, electrical, instrument, communications and navigation, and cabin atmosphere control.

This operational handbook introduces the basic skills necessary for piloting seaplanes, skiplanes, and helicopters equipped with floats or skis. It is primarily intended to assist pilots who already hold private or commercial certificates and who are learning to fly these aircraft types. It is also beneficial to rated seaplane pilots who wish to improve their proficiency, pilots preparing for flights using ski-equipped aircraft, and flight instructors engaged in the instruction of both students and transitioning pilots. The book introduces the future seaplane or skiplane pilot to the realm of water operations and cold weather operations, and provides information on the performance of procedures required for the addition of a sea class rating in airplanes. Previously published in the Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3), this information has since been removed from that text (with the introduction of the FAA-H-8083-3A). The Seaplane, Skiplane, and Float/Ski Equipped Helicopter Operations Handbook features full-color illustrations and photographs throughout, as well as straightforward discussions and explanations for: --Rules, regulations and aids for navigation --Principles of seaplanes --Water characteristics and seaplane base operations --Seaplane operations (preflight, takeoffs, landings) --Performance --Skiplane operations --Emergency open sea operations --Float and ski equipped helicopters
