Touchdown! Greaser!
A quick search of POA didn't reveal these being announced; I apologize if they were. Happy Reading!
The Risk Management Handbook
Advanced Avionics Handbook
The Risk Management Handbook
You’re not alone if you don’t have a clear understanding of what “risk management” entails. Fortunately, a new product from FAA is here to help. The Risk Management Handbook (FAA-H-8083-2), now available on FAA’s Web site, is a first-time publication designed to introduce the basic concepts of risk management.
This handbook offers practical tools that pilots at every level can use to systematically identify, evaluate, and reduce the risk posed by each flight. These tools include information on developing personal minimums; checklists; and scenarios for risk management, flight planning, and training. Although the handbook uses a few mnemonics, it’s not about memorizing acronyms. The goal is for pilots to choose a risk management tool that can be readily remembered and, most importantly, consistently used to make every flight safer.
Advanced Avionics Handbook
An important component of aviation risk management is understanding the aircraft and its systems. Both new pilots and those pilots new to “glass cockpit” technology can benefit from material in FAA’s new Advanced Avionics Handbook (FAA-H-8083-6).
Also a first-time publication, the Advanced Avionics Handbook is designed to provide general aviation pilots with comprehensive information on advanced avionics equipment available in technically advanced aircraft.
This handbook’s chapters include a detailed introduction to electronic flight displays, GPS and area navigation (RNAV), automated flight control systems, and advanced information systems such as weather data link and terrain awareness. Though it cannot substitute for the manufacturer’s guidance on operation of any particular avionics system, this handbook does a great job in presenting fundamental operating concepts for these systems.
