Army Aviation Handbook

Above the Best.

Army aviation doctrine for aircrew, and for the ground force that plans around them. 26 publications in the Aviation library carry their full published text, taken from the official Army PDFs, with more than 350 figures.

Not a government app. This is an independent reference, not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense.

SOURCES
Except for one overview described below, every manual, figure and catalog link in this app comes from one source, the Army Publishing Directorate (APD), the official publisher of Army publications approved for public release. These are the APD pages the app draws on and links to:
• Army Publishing Directorate: https://armypubs.army.mil
• Field Manuals: https://armypubs.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/FM.aspx
• Army Doctrine Publications: https://armypubs.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/ADP.aspx
• Army Techniques Publications: https://armypubs.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/ATP.aspx
• Training Circulars: https://armypubs.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/TC.aspx
One entry is not an Army publication: Army Aviation Organization and Maintenance: Overview, a plain language summary we wrote from public Army doctrine, chiefly FM 3-04 Army Aviation, which is in this app. The app labels it as our summary.
No other source is used. Web addresses printed inside a manual are part of the Army's own text. The optional AI assistant is not a source: it answers only from passages of these manuals and of PDFs you import.
Doctrine is revised regularly, so check anything operationally significant against the current official version.

WHAT'S INSIDE, IN FULL TEXT
• FM 3-04 Army Aviation: the aviation brigade, mission command, and employment of attack, assault and reconnaissance
• TC 3-04.1-6 Aeromedical Training for Flight Personnel, the July 2026 edition that replaces TC 3-04.93: hypoxia, spatial disorientation, night vision and the human factors of flight
• FM 3-99 Airborne and Air Assault Operations
• ATP 3-09.30 Observed Fire Procedures and ADP 3-19 Fires, for the air ground fight

31 more publications, among them airspace, the theater air ground system, aviation maintenance and aircrew training standardization, are cataloged with links to their official PDFs, for a 58 publication library. The whole Army catalog of 179 publications is one tab away.

Reading is free: every embedded manual, every chapter and every figure, with no account, no ads and no trial.

BUILT FOR THE FIELD
• Full text search across everything embedded
• Diagrams and airspace graphics open full screen and zoom
• Bookmark the section you are studying; mark manuals as favorites
• Import your own PDFs, such as checklists and unit SOPs, and search them too
• An optional AI assistant that answers from the manuals. The model on your device runs with no account and no connection once downloaded, or connect your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.
• The app itself speaks nine languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean. The manuals stay in English, as the Army publishes them.

No ads, no account, no tracking.

WHAT THE UNLOCK ADDS
The study tools are a single purchase, not a subscription: full text search across every embedded manual at once, bookmarks that survive between sessions, importing and indexing your own PDFs, and the AI assistant.

LEGAL
Every publication in this app is a U.S. Government work in the public domain under 17 U.S.C. § 105. Army branch insignia and related marks are property of the U.S. Government and appear here for identification only.

This is a study and quick reference aid, not a substitute for official publications, unit training, or command guidance. Verify currency through official channels before operational use.

Recent changes:
Every catalog entry now links directly to its own official Army PDF, and the source web address is shown in the app. Publications that are no longer publicly available were removed from the catalog.
