Flight Literacy

Flight Training Educational Materials

Regretfully, FlightLiteracy (formerly FlightLearnings) will be turning out the lights after fifteen years. Google, in its infinite wisdom, has chosen to remove FlightLiteracy from its search results (the claim is that the content on this site is spam). We appealed their decision to shut us down, to no avail.

Unfortunately, since Google has a monopoly over internet search, this means that traffic levels on the site will drop to a level that makes maintaining it uneconomic. As time progresses, we will no longer be able to maintain the server space and will remove the site from the internet. Thanks to all who have supported us over the years.

To fight back against the monopolistic practices of companies like Google, we recommend using a competing search engine such as Brave (you get the added benefit of not being spied on by Big Tech) and advocating for anti-trust legislation from your representatives.

Welcome to FlightLiteracy.com.  We’re in the process of assembling the most comprehensive free resource on the internet for publicly available documents and manuals that relate to aviation education.

We’ve made all of the content on this site searchable by utilizing Google’s custom search engine.  Just enter your keyword in the search box in the top right side of the screen (at the bottom of the page for mobile browsers).  If you aren’t finding what you’re looking for by browsing, the navigation box is a great way to filter through the site to find exactly the content that you need.

If you don’t want to do a keyword search, feel free to browse the sections below, which are broken down by experience level (basic or advanced) and section (publication), then further broken down on the pages by category (chapter), and individual posts (articles).
