This handbook introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. Except for the Code of Federal Regulations pertinent to civil aviation, most of the knowledge areas applicable to pilot certification arepresented. This handbook is useful to beginning pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates.  \nOccasionally the word “must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) .  \nIt is essential for persons using this handbook to become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). The AIM is available online [at www.faa.gov. The](at www.faa.gov. The) current Flight Standards Service airman training and testing material and learning statements for all airman certificates and ratings can be obtained [from www.faa.gov](from www.faa.gov).  \nThis handbook supersedes FAA-H-8083-25A, Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, dated 2008.  \nThis handbook is available for download, in PDF format, [from www.faa.gov](from www.faa.gov).  \nThis handbook is published by the United States Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Airman Testing Standards Branch, AFS-630, P.O.
