You're probably looking for the no-cost option, but let me offer another
option. Disclaimer -- I'm in no way connected with the company but I've been using the products for years. Most useful when I'm not near a high-speed internet connection. Summit Aviation has a CD product that comes out every 28 days (sound familiar?) Most of the stuff isn't updated but items such as ADs and TCDS, and the AIM are included. Other things on the CD: 14 CFR -- what we know and love as the FARs. Bunch of Handbooks - the 8083s (weight & balance, instrument handbook, student pilot guide, etc) and the 8261 - Instrument Procedures. Bunch of Advisory Circulars (ACs) Pilot/Controller Glossary All the PTS (the 8081 series) All the TSOs Knowledge test questions Legal interpretations And.... Aerodynamics for naval aviators And more stuff. True, most of this stuff is available on the FAAs website. But if you were going to buy the various books it would cost far more than the cost of one CD. I update just once a year or so. It's great when I'm traveling. I get to take all the books with me (and the laptop only weighs 4 pounds). Best part - EVERTHING is searchable! As I said, I'm in no way connected (other than by the interstate. They're on the far west side of the Denver area and I'm on the far east side...). Just freaks the FAA and others when I'm in meetings and people are trying to remember the citation or exact wording and I pop it up in seconds.... (*evil laugh*) summitaviation.com |
