Overall, decent price for the book compared to buying it at the FBO or flight school. However, realize there are chapters from the FAR that you'll have to find elsewhere, like the FAA website. This book provides the basics for most pilots. It is what you probably need.
Definitely won't disappoint. Each year ASA finds small ways to improve the format and ease of use of a pilots most important reference.
With a high quality binding, high quality paper and high quality print, I recommend this edition of the FAR/AIM. Regardless of if you are a real pilot or a sim pilot, this is the must have reference for anyone with a serious interest in aviation.While other, cheaper editions exist, the ASA version is a perfect size and weight (I saw a competitor's that is much larger and is made from flimsy newsprint, making it harder to use and harder to read).
Best price ever. Last year I had the Jepp FAR/AIM and it was good, but this seems more precise in the formatting, and it's thinner. It also has the numbers on the flipping edge to know exactly what part you're in--much nicer.
Search those if you must, but the index and toc for overall and for sections in this print edition makes finding information VERY easy. See the federal govt's webpage for up to the day versions.Some training programs come with current FAR/AIM on disc; however, the formatting is poor. The ASA version was first to press, beating out Jeppesen-Sanserson.Price and Layout are great.It would be nice if there were a thinner version, printed on larger sheets.It would be nice if there were a Complete FAR edition.It would be nice if there were a CD version with searchable PDF with images embedded at proper resolutions.But, aside from the wish list, this is the book to contact for Everything up to commercial ratings, and all non-rating specific info. See the FAR/AMT for more of the commuter and airline info.
