In June of 2023, the FAA released a minor update to the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge: FAA-H-8083-25C. This minor update included:
- Addendum A, dated February 2021
- Addendum B, dated January 2022
- Addendum C, dated March 2023
- Included language to answer National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Safety Recommendation (SR) A-21-020
Sporty's PHAK (M552A) FAA-H-8083-25B has incorporated addendums A, B, and C. All three addendums have been added to the correct place inside the text. Sporty's PHAK does not include the "Included language to answer National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Safety Recommendation (SR) A-21-020". That one page change can be downloaded here:
