## Pilot Handbook Reviews in United States

### **--- "Good idea, just don’t use calculators"
Seems like a good idea. More user friendly than using a PDF copy.

The trip planning calculators don’t work, however. The trip time doesn’t sum properly (it just repeats the descent time value) therefore fuel calculation is based on the few minutes of descent time, not the whole trip. This is worthless and pointless.
-- HuCo169, 2025-06-10

### ***-- "Nice App - Needs Updated"
There are significant changes in the FAA-8083-25C 2023 version.

One of the value propositions for apps that wrap pdf content publicly available should not only be the features around the standard content (favorites, calculators, etc) but most importantly for the content to be up to date.

Right now it’s like having an old book.
-- Riggyz505, 2025-01-15

### ***** "Information at your convenience"
As a student pilot this book covers topics a ground school usually doesn’t.
Very handy and helpful
-- J.D. rambling man, 2022-04-27

### ***** "Great reference"
The presentation is easy to understand.
-- Mountainboomer, 2021-10-10

### ***** "Right on Point"
It serves exactly what a digital version of the pHAC needs to be.  Excellent app for the money and demand.
-- Bmunkres, 2021-02-15

### ***** "Must have aviation flying"
Don’t miss out. This is my number one reference for flight instruction.
-- RockNRocket, 2020-12-08

### ****- "Useful for studying"
Wish it had 2 features to get to 5⭐️: chapter numbers so I could reference other study guides easier, and dark mode for when reading at night!
-- jlkinsel, 2020-11-23

### ***** "Excellent resource !"
Great information & free too. Thank you FAA.
-- i used to be an Owl, 2020-04-08

### ***** "Very helpful and useful information"
This is helping me understand a lot as a student pilot. I can see myself coming back to this throughout my journey and hopefully one day career.
-- Angelofattack, 2019-10-12

### ***** "Best app"
Best app!!!!! Easy to navigate
-- Abdoulaye Diallo, 2019-08-06
