Go to www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbo ... /aircraft/. The "Airplane Flying Handbook" is here. You can read it online or print the PDF file. And it's FREE!

My personal flying 'bible' is "Stick and Rudder" by Wolfgang Langewiesche.

FAR/AIM 2010, Stick and Rudder, the Private Pilot Handbook by Rod Machado.

I would also put Stick and Rudder at he top of the list... followed by the FAA handbook... notice a trend here?

The government stuff is usually available as a PDF download www.faa.gov

For others, try your local library.

The library is the old building downtown with all the books inside, BTW...

Not sure about downloads, but you may be able to order used copies of the actual books at very low prices... eBay or amazon.

I'm lucky enough to have all my Manuals from my all my copies of FLY!, Flight Unlimited II and III, two Manuals of Pro Pilot '99, and the magnificent 322-page Manual from FS 2000!
...even Manuals from the various Helicopter Flight Sims!
Everything you ever wanted to know about flying Aeroplanes is contained within them!
I regularly refer to them (in Bed!).
It's just a shame they do not come supplied with the latest versions of MS Flight Simulator, etc, it would save a lot of questions on the various Flight, and Flight Sim Forums!
They all make for excellent reading and study!

Paul....G-BPLF...FS 2004...FS Nav...and lots of lovely Manuals!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!
