Regulamentos Federais de Aviação para Pilotos

The Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) are the binding legal rules pilots and operators must follow, drawn from Titles 14 and 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) is the FAA's plain-language guidance explaining how the airspace system, procedures, and operations actually work.

The FAA revises the regulations and reprints the FAR/AIM on an annual cycle, and the AIM itself updates twice a year. Most pilots replace the book every year or two to stay current, and a fresh edition is the safest choice when you are preparing for a knowledge test or checkride.

A student pilot should buy a current-year combined pilot edition such as the ASA or Gleim FAR/AIM. These books include the regulatory parts you train under, like Parts 61 and 91, plus the full AIM and Pilot/Controller glossary, covering everything needed from first lesson through the private pilot checkride.

The standard FAR/AIM is built for general aviation pilots and students and includes the AIM. The FAR-FC (Flight Crew) edition is tailored to airline and Part 121 and 135 crews, collecting the air carrier and crew regulations those operations rely on rather than the general aviation training parts.

Yes. A printed FAR/AIM is reliable when devices fail, is approved on many checkrides, and lets you flag and tab the parts you reference most. Many pilots keep the book for study and ready reference while using an app or faa.gov as the always-current source in flight.

Tab a FAR/AIM by flagging the parts and sections you use most, such as Parts 61, 91, and 107, so you can jump to any regulation in seconds. An easy-install kit like the NorthstarVFR DIY FAR/AIM tabs organizes the book by certificate and rating without guesswork.
