Introduction

ASA 2022 FAR/AIM Series
FAR/AIM FAR for Flight Crew FAR for AMT

ASA has been supplying the standard reference of the industry, the FAR/AIM series, for more than 75 years. The 2022 series continues to provide information directly from the Federal Aviation Regulations and the Aeronautical Information Manual. Each regulation Part is preceded by a table of contents. Changes since last years printing are identified in the Summary of Major Changes. In the AIM, changes are explained in a list at the beginning. It is recommended you familiarize yourself with all the changes to identify those that affect your aviation activities.

Changes affecting the regulations can take place daily; the AIM changes every 6 months. ASA tracks all changes and offers you two options for free Updates:

Although ASA is not a government agency, and we do not write the regulations or the AIM, we do work closely with the FAA. Questions or concerns can be forwarded to our attention, and we will in turn pass the comments on to the responsible office within the agency. It is interested in user feedback and your comments could foster improvements in the regulations that affect the entire industry.
