Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, created by the Federal Aviation Administration, is the official reference manual for pilots at all levels. An indispensable and invaluable encyclopedia, it deals with all aspects of aeronautical information. Each chapter focuses on a different area that pilots are tested on in flight school and must need to know before they fly a plane on of their own.;Cover; Title Page; Copyright; Preface; Acknowledgments; Table of Contents; Chapter 1: Introduction To Flying; Introduction; History of Flight; History of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); Transcontinental Air Mail Route; Federal Certification of Pilots and Mechanics; The Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938; The Federal Aviation Act of 1958; Department of Transportation (DOT); Air Traffic Control (ATC) Automation; The Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) Strike; The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978; Role of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
