The FAR/AIM 2026 is the essential handbook for U.S. aviation, combining the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) from Titles 14 and 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations with the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). It's updated for 2026 to include recent changes like those for drone integration, BasicMed, and digital tools, and serves as a comprehensive, pilot-focused study guide and reference for students, instructors, and professional pilots, often including quick-reference tabs and free online updates.
