Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This handbook, created by the Federal Aviation Administration, is the official reference manual for pilots at all levels. It deals with all aspects of aeronautical information: aircraft structure, principles of aerodynamics, flight controls, aircraft systems, and flight instruments. Flight manuals and documentation are also covered, as is specialized information on such matters as weight and balance, aircraft performance, weather, navigation, airport operations, aeromedical factors, and decision-making while flying. Filled with hundreds of concise, colorful illustrations, charts, diagrams, and maps, this is an essential resource and tool for all students, experienced pilots, and aeronautics buffs.

The "Pilot's Encyclopedia of Aeronautical Knowledge" is a standard in the industry. I purchased a copy for reference. I recommend it for anyone who has an interest in aviation.

The page numbering, layout, etc are all exactly the same as the FAA's "Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge". The updates of both books are pretty much lockstep; however, this edition omits the FAA book number which is FAA-H-8083-25. The cover is the same. The ONLY difference is that the rear cover of the "Encyclopedia" edition has graphics printed.
I didn't really care TOO much except the "Encyclopedia" edition uses heavier stock paper, making the book thicker and heavier. My study bag is already heavy enough, so I took the FAA standard edition instead.

The FAA does not have a publication by this title. To say this is copyrighted material is a stretch. Everything in the book is from the FAA Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge which was published as printed in this book in 2003 and is not copyrighted since our tax dollars pay for it. The content is great. It covers everything a pilot needs to know to pass knowledge tests and demonstrate proficiency. All the FAA publications to this. But Sky Horse does not have any right to copyright anything in it. Certainly not a right to claim it is more recent that what the FAA or others print.
Rated by buyers -
AS a CFI I recommend this book as it is one of the sources of information for the pilots written test and it is easy to read and understand. I continually reference this work for my teaching and flying career. I highly recommend it.

This is exactly the same as the FAA's "Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge," (FAA-H-8083-25) but this is a commercial reprint by Skyhorse Publishing and it uses better paper (thicker/glossier) than the FAA's printed version, so I highly recommend this one.
