U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular Subject: RENUMBERING OF AIRMAN Date: 2/1/99 AC No: AC 60-29 TRAINING AND TESTING PUBLICATIONS Initiated by: AFS-630 Change:
1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular announces the renumbering of airman training and testing materials published by the Airman Testing Standards Branch, AFS-630, Oklahoma City, OK.
2. BACKGROUND. Knowledge test guides and aeronautical handbooks are currently published as advisory circulars (AC’s). These AC’s are listed in AC 00-2, Advisory Circular Checklist.
The airman training and testing publications in the advisory circular system are currently listed in various sections of AC 00-2, such as Airmen, Subject No. 60; Air Traffic and General Operations, Subject No. 90; and Appendix 5, FAA Publications Sold by GPO.

Listing airman training, testing, and standards publications in one area of AC 00-2 will provide an easier means for the aviation community to successfully locate the necessary training and testing publications for airman certification.

A specific series number will be assigned to the publication, according to the appropriate grouping listed below, and these publications will be listed in appendix 5 of AC 00-2.
