The handbook includes a glossary, index, and full-color illustrations to aid study. The App highlights sections on Departure Procedures, En Route Operations, Arrivals, Approaches, System Improvement Plans, Airborne Navigation Databases, Helicopter Instrument Procedures, Emergency Procedures, and Acronym and Glossary.
