You are 100% correct, every student should have both of those books. It is hard to believe nobody ever told you about that when you were a student. Your instructor short changed you. I’ve been a CFI for 35 years and used both of those books to study for my private. It is the first book I always tell my students to get. All of the government books are available free online.
Probably did the Jeppesen course. I did as well, but my instructor had me read both the Jepp books and PHAK. I am surprised pilots don’t know about it.
As a part 61 student who’s
Learning to learn not to fast track anywhere. I discovered one can learn just about everything you need to know for written test from information off the faa website. These schools charging a fortune for free or near free information. Just in that it’s structured for the ones who need that structure I suppose.
@@gtm624 the faa considers their own resources the minimum required docs for all things related to learning for faa pilot certificates and ratings. Any third party resource is ok to use but is considered extraneous to the standard faa resources.
@@jmitchell3 just depends on one’s goal. If I were seeking a job as an airline pilot. I would go for the backing of a 141 school.
But I want to sit on my living room floor, tape a bunch of sectionals together and take a cross country vor to vor. Before they are all gone. I want to learn the grass roots as it was done before rnav and all the tech we have now. Not saying I won’t learn it. Of course I’m already learning ForeFlight. But I am having fun with it. I’ll be going for my commercial eventually. But it’s just an amazing journey for me and savoring the whole process with no timeline and certainly no rush.
@@gtm624 depends on your goal….but the faa doesn’t see it that way. It’s general info that’s expected of all aviators
This is introduced to us at the very beginning of college at Liberty University for a degree in Aeronautics. It’s used extensively throughout our courses. It definitely has a lot of easy to access info!
This book is also an audiobook. I listen to this in my car frequently. I haven't actually started flying yet but when I found this free resource I decided that listening to the book would be a great way to become familiar with all the terms
I concur. You MUST download this. Content is comprehensive and a good read and well-illustrated. Basic flight physics, weather, detailed descriptions of how to interpret airport/runway markings, engine and gauge basic mechanics and function, etc. Overwhelming to see for the first time but WORTH READING EVERY PAGE. Seriously, READ THE ENTIRE THING as you progress to PPL and you will know 90% of what you get asked in the checkride.
MORE GOOD NEWS:
There are equivalent/similar FAA books book for Instrument rating, rotary aircraft, etc.
I think the PHAK also includes a big chunk called “radio phraseology glossary” so you dont go into the radio feeling like such a newbie - great for confidence.
Perhaps the best part is you can download AND then it DROPS INTO your personal doc. collection in FOREFLIGHT !
NOTE: I am in no way affiliated with FAA or Airplabe Academy. I am just super enthusiastic about the PHAK as it helped me massively fill out knowledge before i got the PPL
Those are also in ForeFlight.
At the school I attended, we called it the P-Hack. Great resource. All the FAA publications are available on pdf these days, also.
Hey, Charlie. I'm a "Rusty Pilot" thinking about getting back into the cockpit after several decades. The PHAK is exactly what I need in my toolbox to get current again - thanks so much.
Awesome!! Keep us posted on your journey!
Dude I completely appreciate your honesty. If I had been flying for years and just now discovered the PHAK I would never tell a soul!
Bud, thank you so much. I am kind of 2/3 down the airfield for the PP license and this is super useful for any reference. Glad I saw you talking about it. Thanks again.
Yes, it is free as are all government publications. All my students have these on their iPad. We cover it all and is wonderful to use to brief prior to a flight.
Both PHAK and FAH are available at audible, just search for FAA. This is a great addition to help review and effectively learn what you see in the book.
On another note, I attended a FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) seminar yesterday regarding helicopter wake turbulence awareness which was conducted by a highly qualified New Jersey state police helicopter pilot that is currently getting his fixed wing certificate. It was absolutely mind blowing that this information is not part of the PHAK.
If anyone isn’t aware. Audible now has an audio version of p-Hak and airplane flying handbook.
Thanks for this tip. I've been reading almost non-stop since you posted this.
I’ve always called it the P hack and it’s such a good study tool. Highly recommend it
This is where I started. These two books are both dry as a bone (government-written), but very helpful. My SEE EFF EYE pronounces it PEE-HACK :)
I found out about it when I saw the printed version laying around the FBO, but it was not mentioned previously in my ground school. The FAA should include a question on the private test so that it gets taught in all ground schools.
Thank you so much.....I was already planning to order it on Amazon...so once again thank you!
This is an awesome book! when I was learning to fly my instructor and I went through this. It really helped for lesson planning and learning. We would brief a flight using this book, talk about what we were about to do then go do it! This was the best way to learn for me.
OMG!!! Amazing find! Thank you!
Seriously thank you for posting this! Love the channel
Sure thing!! Glad you enjoy the channel!
Thanks for sharing this information!
I downloaded it some time ago. There are many good links to find on the FAA pages if you look hard enough.
Fixing to take my CFI checkride and the CFI PTS (Practical Testing Standards) is essentially just going through the Phak, the aviation instructors handbook, and a few things from the airplane flying handbook. Anyone that is soon to be a CFI, 100% download the pts and just fill it out with the info from these guides.
Salut. Excellent material and great to refresh with
I listened to it everyday on Audible commuting to and from work. :)
I'm confused. Before I even got my PPL I got my unmanned Part107 certificate. The PHAK was one of the first books my school suggested I get. Same thing for my PPL. My opinion, if your ground school does not mention this book you need to look for a different ground school.
yup same here
Lol yeah, I legit didn't know people went through ground school without it. Or maybe Charlie's trolling us. 😝
Also, "P-hack" all day long.
What are you confused about
@@loganmiller6409 The PHAK is a well known resource and Charlie makes it sound like nobody has heard about it.
Absolutely correct! I have the paperback book and it has anything and everything aviation related in it. Personally I’ve always heard people call it the P hak pronounced Pee hack. But regardless of how you pronounce it, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s an awesome book!
i got that in my gliem kit when i was trying for a sport pilot license
When did this drop off? When I started flying in the 90's, I was told to get 2 initial books: this and the FAR/AIM. Awesome info. Later I was also pointed to "Aviation Weather".
Great reminder.
Nice channel! You should also do a video on the Pilot's Operating Handbook. Had carb icing in my -182 once, and the POH says use carb heat any time there is visible moisture. There was fog on the ground that day. Also.... You need to use full outside air before pulling the heat on. Otherwise, the heating air overheats the tubing. Don't ask me how I know! POH is loaded with stuff based on historical findings.
I purchased the book and have read the book. I found the electronic version, but prefer the book. This book is helpful and I also have the Gleim study guide to test me.
There are links in ForeFlight for these books as well.
I see that you have the Lively Aviation tabbed out FAR/AIM. They now have the PHAK professionally tabbed out too. It is pricey but I just received mine and it's a great value to me. Just say'n
They also have an Airship Pilot's Manual from 1942 😎👍
AIM pretty much covered every aspects of aeronautical knowledge fundamentals. But it’s good to have this in library
I thought everyone with at least a PPL knew about the PHAK and AFH.
Thank you! That was awesome! Also, where's the next video that you mentioned at the very end I don't see it?

I don't learn just by reading. I a see/do learner, but I use this to supplement my online ground school.
Excellent. Control F on these documents is golden. Thanks for spreading the word! Hey, I was curious if you’ve checked out Rod Machados manuals? I’m trying to brush up my knowledge and am about half way through his PP manual. It’s very informative and his corny humor keeps it engaging. I bought his IFR book too, I’ll let you know what I think when I finish it.
I've been through his weather course and it's good. You're right, corny humor but for some people that is refreshing since it provides a little break to the deep-dive. Just depends on your style.
They also do really good books for helicopter pilots for those interested in such thing.
First thing my flight school said to buy and study 🤷♂️. Read through all of it cover to cover. Thought this was a standard
Wow, Charlie, this is such a helpful tip. I am trying to learn the IFR stuff to take my knowledge test this summer when I'm back in the US. I've been going through Rod Machado's IFR training and this is gonna be a great additional resource. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
There is an instrument flying handbook as well which is super helpful. I used both that and Rod's book for my instrument training.
@@jonasberney8857 I am in process. Kindly tell me the title of the Instrument Flying Handbook other than Rod's, which I have and use.
@@timhoke2 it’s called- wait for it- “Instrument Flying Handbook”. You will also need “Instrument Procedures Handbook”. The FAA doesn’t get very creative with names. 😁Seriously though, don’t go into your instrument check ride being ignorant to these publications. They are pretty much required reading. It would be like going to church and saying “What’s this Bible book y’all keep talking about?”
@@sfeatherston3 Thanks very much. I downloaded both. Am almost done with Rod's video IFR ground school. However, truth be told, it is pretty hard to remember that WEALTH of material. Hopefully enough will stick for the knowledge test.
@@timhoke2 those books will give you all the knowledge you’ll need to be a good instrument pilot. The skills and competency will of course come with training. However, if you want to smoke the test then I strongly recommend Gleim’s Instrument Pilot: FAA Knowledge Test Prep. It’s a big database of questions. All but three of the questions I faced on my exam came straight out of that book.
** Ideally ** A student pilot should read the PHAK cover to cover by the end of their PPL curriculum, that is essentially the answer book to the checkride!
I think everyone knows about the PHAK nowadays, though I believe Jeppesen is way better for beginner pilots as it’s very to the point and doesn’t have all the extra into like PHAK does.
Hey just wanna know if this all applies to Canadian aviation. Is it laws and regulations or just general flight information? Thanks!
A lot of it will still apply. Airspace, airport signage, etc. might be a little different internationally but in terms of how aircraft systems work, weather theory, etc... it's all applicable!
Audible books:
Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical

FAA-H-8083-3B
Just FYI, I've ordered the far/aim tabs from one of your previous suggestions. I have yet to receive them. I did get an email saying they would be sent soon. That was in February. Could you please ask what's going on. Thank you. Mark
Hi Mark - I've been talking with Jeff, the owner, and he said to please refer you to info@livelyaviation.com as they answer all emails Monday through Friday. I'd try reaching out again to get a status. They have staffed up like crazy to handle the demand and are clearing out the backlog of orders. They grew really quickly overnight and are doing their best to keep up.
Oh... I've had that for decades :)
I can’t believe someone got to PP without using the PHAK AND AFH
didn’t know you could pass a check ride without the phak lol
Im really surprised you didn’t know about the pee hack. I guess if you didn’t know, theres a bunch of others out there that don’t. So thanks for makin a vid
Most folks I know call it “P-hack” but yes, very good resource and like you hadn’t seen it until after private. Very good resource though
I have a copy I got in, like, 2018...
If you have a good Flight School, they'll make you aware of this on Ground School. But lord knows some flight schools leave a lot to be desired.
Where is the phone trick (2minutes) to setup video?
Lots of pilot schools sell them for $22 per copy.
I still have my PHAK from ground school in the 1990s and just bought the current printed version for currency. If your school doesn’t use it from day one, get a refund and find a better school!
As a long time CFI, I dislike the Jep Pvt, inst, and commercial books. Always made my students study out of FAA materials. Since that is what the FAA is testing you on.
Huh... useful for even us Canuck students. AND IT HAS A DAMN GLOSSERY! Omg *prints* My XEROX will now hate me.
Pee hack is the only way to say it!!!
Your instructor(s) have failed you. The "P-HAK" should have been the first book they put in your hands. Thanks for making sure others know, brother.
Boggle .. PHAK isn't required by all flight schools ??
2:45 Nothing is "FREE" Charlie. I'm sure you, like the rest of us United States citizens (well, most of us) pay taxes. Still, it's a wonderful resource and I'm glad you're pointing this out to those unaware. 👍👍
I believe the PHAK is pronounced.... PEA - HACK or for those rabble rousers out there.....PEE - HACK.
I thought everybody knew about the PHAK😅
FIRST
You talk very fast.
Why is this guy acting like nobody has heard of the PHAK before? Super click bait
this video talked to much no raw footage here
Dude, can you talk any faster??
