Airport facilities directories are useful tools for flight planning and every pilot has a copy. The problem with these little green books is they have a very short life span expiring about every 3 months. If you are not close to a pilot shop, like the Sky Gypsies, it is difficult to keep an current version of the AFD. Well the AFD is now online courtesy of the FAA.
A current AFD is especially important when testing since the designated pilot examiner (DPE) will require the applicant (us) to have a current copy for the ground portion of the test. But thanks to the FAA that will not be a problem, just go online and either download the latest version for the test or connect to the site during the oral. Demonstrating the ability to access relevant information on the FAA’s website also demonstrates good aeronautical decision making skills, something DPEs always like to see.

Practical Test Standard References
Practical Test Standard References
I have tracked down links to all the references used in creating the PTS. You can find all the information covered in the PTS by following each link to the FAA resource. Download the material and save it on your computer. After reviewing the applicable material you can create answers based on FAA material for every bullet point in the PTS. This allows you to create answers ahead of time for the oral portion of the practical test. If you take your laptop with this material to the test you will be prepared with all the resources you need to answer the Designated Pilot Examiners questions and successfully complete the oral portion of the test.

Weight Shift Control Aviation Handbook

Free, The Weight Shift Control Flying Handbook.
With the takeover by the FAA everything has become more uniform for weight shift pilots, one organization that oversees training of trike pilots and registration of aircraft. While the merits of this have been debated endlessly one thing is clear - the process moves forward. The Weight-Shift Control Aircraft Flying Handbook has been published by the FAA and is available online from several vendors. Aside from providing standardized information for training and testing, the great thing about this book is you already paid for it. Your tax dollars went to pay the author and you can get as many free copies as your hard drive can hold. That is one of the good things about the FAA, they tell you what you what the rules are (the FARs), they tell you what you are required to do to get a pilot ticket (training requirements), and they give you all the information to accomplish the task. It is all free, just go and get it. It is even possible to complete a light sport CFI with the information the FAA provides. The system is set up to help you pass and get your ticket.
You can find a link to the Weight-Shift Control Flying Handbook under weight shift aviation links in the sidebar or you can just go here.
