Flight Manuals and W&B

There are the USAF "Dash One" and the US Navy "NATOPS" manual that contain tons of information about the T-34 but these are the officially recognized flight manuals by the FAA. Back before the days of word processors and lawsuits, short and sweet they are. Someone once passed on a T-34 NATOPS flight manual; it is here for your enjoyment.

Link Date Description
A45 2/22/52 Beech Model A45 Technical Description
TO 1T-34A-1 (PDF 41MB) 2/10/58 USAF T-34 "Dash 1". Though not an approved FAA flight manual, this document has tons of information that any T-34A pilot should be familiar with. This is a large document, 41MB,  so download it only if you really want it.

T-34B NATOPS Flight Manual

(PDF 46MB)

5/1/67 NATOPS Flight Manual, Navy Model T-34B Aircraft, NAVAIR 01-90KDB-1. Like the T-34A "Dash-1" this is not an FAA-approved flight manual but has tons of information on the T-34B aircraft. For some reason the title page of this publication refers to the "T-34B/C Aircraft" and I don't know why. Someone want to enlighten me? webmaster@t-34.com

NAVAIR 01-T34AAC-1 (PDF 20MB)

2/1/00 The T-34C (TurboMentor) NATOPS flight manual in PDF form that someone passed along once upon a time. I'm sure it doesn't have the latest changes. This document is "searchable" That is, it is not just a "snapshot" of each page of the book. I'd like to have the A and B manuals up here in similar form some day. It's pretty big: 20 MB (megabytes).
