Editorial Reviews

Review

The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)/Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) for 2004 is a fundamental resource for every pilot. This McGraw-Hill edition is packed with essential aviation flight information.

...This well-illustrated volume provides current comprehensive information for the very focused aeronautical and regulatory areas of flight...As an annual publication in the respected Aviation Week book series, AIM/FAR is well established as a reliable source of important information. This source is a clearly organized and thoughtfully arranged compilation of government data.

...Every academic library that supports any aspect of aviation, large public libraries, or special libraries whose clients may be pilots must have this reference available. This McGraw-Hill edition is recognized as an industry standard and as an excellent source of vital information for pilots. It should be a standing order. (American Reference Books Annual )

With the continually changing nature of Federal Aviation Rules and Regulations, no pilot can afford not to have up-to-date information.

The new AIM/FAR 2004 provides updated information about new security rules for GA, fractional ownership regulation, pilot background checks, and more. (SW Aviator )
