5.0 out of 5 stars Aviation Week's AIM/ FAR surpasses other publications
I used to search all the bookstores for an Aviation Week's publication of the regulations until I found it here online. This version has better quality pages for notes and highlights and is easier to flip through. ASA'a version is so fat and Jeppesen's edition is bulky. By far Aviation Week's edition is the best one to fit in my flight bag.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did anyone even edit this book?
The quick lowdown; Don't buy this product. I've been forced to buy the Jepp version after I wasted money on this one.

I'm a CFI applicant with a commercial license and Instrument Rating. I've used the ASA and Jeppesen versions of the FAR/AIM and I tell you, I'm so disappointed with the McGraw Hill "Aviation Week" AIM/FAR. I've found many editing errors...

The quick lowdown; Don't buy this product. I've been forced to buy the Jepp version after I wasted money on this one.

I'm a CFI applicant with a commercial license and Instrument Rating. I've used the ASA and Jeppesen versions of the FAR/AIM and I tell you, I'm so disappointed with the McGraw Hill "Aviation Week" AIM/FAR. I've found many editing errors including references to figures that are not on the pages referenced, and table of contents tabs which are not aligned properly. Also, there are newly inserted text sections wholly in the wrong subpart.

There are no indents to allow subparts of one section to be distinguised from the subpart of another subsection. The attemt to save space (hence, weight) is not worth the incredible increase in difficulty of trying to reference subparts which are referenced with no indentations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing subject matter made worse, September 18, 2001
This review is from: AIM/FAR 2001 Aeronautical Information Manual/ Federal Aviation Regulations (Paperback)
I would concur with everything said in the review by Ryan Kelly. Stick with Jepp. It's frustrating enough trying to find information in these thick regs, but to find paths that lead to nowhere is the height of aggravation.

I'm sorry, but the positive review here is suspiciously glowing, and anonymous.

Get the 2002 or whatever-year-it-is edition, this one is out of date.
