FAR/AIM 2014: Federal Aviation Regulations/Aeronautical Information Manual (FAR/AIM series)

FAR/AIM contains vast amounts of required knowledge for pilots and this book is a great reference for such. The analogue version (hard copy) is very large and bulky and the kindle edition will enable one to have this great reference with one at all times (without having a wheel barrow to lug it around). Additionally, the e-copy is much less expensive than the hard copy.

When ever in doubt or have a question of aviation related things, this is the only book needed to answer those in full summary with nothing to misconstrue. In depth answer and facts on everything you could want or need to know. And goes beyond what is technically needed to fly. It also comes with lifetime updates and changes via email. So one purchase will last a lifetime.

The characters in the book are really compelling. The background information on each character is very touching- especially FAR 91.830. Did you know a fatality is defined as a death caused by an airplane accident within 30 days of the accident?

... Sure, both ASA's and Jeppessen's versions contain the same information. I like the look of the ASA version better though myself. Can you do better than ASA for a FAR/AIM? Personally, I have to say "NO." As much as I might otherwise recommend Jeppessen, who also puts out a FAR/AIM with their name on it, they have at times fallen short on the quality I expected from them. (For instance Training videos produced in the 1980's, early 90's that were transferred to DVD completely unchanged or updated.) ASA has yet to let me down for ANYTHING to date.

I laughed, I cried, I lived. This epic book has me glued to the pages. The plot is riveting, plot twists leave me stunned. Characters are so well developed I feel like I've known them for years. It's the kind of book you want to tell all your friends about but you know they don't care. They don't understand. I don't want to spoil anything, but 91.107 had me on the edge of my seat. I've ever heard whispers of a movie staring Nicholas Cage. (It's a book full of FAA rules it's boring but you should have it, I'm glad I bought mine.)

Though this book is huge it's essential reading for pilots of any craft, at any level. It's comprehensive reading, from flight and airplane definitions to FAA regulations and codes, to pilot and CFI requirements, to understanding airport signage, etc., just an essential book for every pilot at every level.

Few things for Amazon Kindle team to consider - Users of this type of product must purchase it every year. This is NOT a one time purchase. FAA makes mid year corrections and updates which are available with a hard copy and included in h/c price. We need electronic updates for the kindle version included in the price. - Users of this book mark the pages and highlight the details of the hardcopy for ease of use. When we by the next year's version we put the old and new copies side by side and transfer the bookmarks and highlights. There is no way to do this with kindle version except going page by page and redoing it. You cant open two copies at the same time. - it is much harder to find what you are looking for( comparing with the hard copy version). Kindle has to add hyperlinks to subsections' table of contents. - Recommended solution: following tne one time initial puchase provide rev update service (subscription) that updates revised sections and keeps everything else untouched. - as result I ended up buying a hardcopy as well.

Yes, it is an extremely boring publication that pilots should own.. However, I must say that ASA does a great job with quality control of their FAA publications. I've gone through a good part of the book, and all of the figures and diagrams are printed correctly and sharp (not blurry). I've been very pleased with everything that I have purchased from ASA, and will continue to purchase their aviation publications.
