As a student pilot, navigating the FAR/AIM can feel like a daunting task, to say the least. The sheer volume of information and regulations can be overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to get lost in the details. That’s why having it tabbed out has been such a game changer for me. It saves a significant amount of time, allowing me to focus on learning rather than getting bogged down in organization.

Not only does it streamline my study sessions, but it also makes it much easier to find the specific information I need quickly. Plus, the small cost of tabbing it out compared to the standard books is well worth it. There's simply nothing that compares to holding a physical book in my hands rather than just relying on an iPad. The tactile experience of flipping through the pages enhances my learning process and makes it feel more engaging.

Another advantage is that I can actually read the tabs, which is a relief considering my less-than-stellar handwriting. This small adjustment has made a big difference in my ability to study effectively and retain important information, ultimately helping me become a more confident and knowledgeable pilot.

I chose Northstar Aviation References (northstarvfr.com) for the FAR/AIM tabs because of their excellent reputation. It is my honest opinion that their reputation is well-deserved. The instructions were very easy to follow, and the video that was referenced was very helpful. I also greatly appreciate the sticker with the index that I placed on the inside of the front cover. The tabs make it very easy to find exactly what I am looking for, and they look great.

I especially like that the tabs are color-coded based on whether the regulation they are referencing apply to private pilot, instrument rating, commercial pilot or CFI, and that it includes color-matching dots that go next to each regulation that the tab covers (I got the private pilot/instrument/commercial combo).

I highly recommend these do-it-yourself tabs to anyone who wants to tab their FAR/AIM. They do cost more than other options on Amazon, but I found those to be haphazardly put together with multicolored tabs that mean nothing, some of which have dark text on dark tabs (unreadable). Northstar Aviation References makes a FAR SUPERIOR PRODUCT that is worth every penny and then some. Thank you!

Top notch tabbing. In the beginning I tabbed my FAR/AIM, like most pilots do, and was hesitant to buy a pre-tabbed version. I believed that going through the exercise of tabbing the FAR/AIM myself would help in remembering the location and details of what I was looking for. Now that I've been using the Northstar Aviation pre-tabbed FAR/AIM for years, I realize self-tabbing is not time efficient. If I don’t remember something or need clarification, I still have to find the correct tab. I am basically starting fresh and a pre-tabbed FAR/AIM saves me precious time by not having to spend time self-tabbing, giving me more time to concentrate on other things.

This isn't my first FAR/AIM, but it is my first one tabbed out like this. It might seem like an extra expense, but I'm working on my CFI and needed something to help bring focus to my time spent on the rating. Not only are the pages tabbed, but on the pages themselves there are small dots to indicate which area to focus on. Additionally, the box the book was shipped in had foam around the tabs to protect them from being damaged. Honestly - I was quite impressed and that doesn't happen very often.

Useful, easy to use, well produced, and a favorite resource for my flying and teaching activities.

I tabbed my first Far/Aim myself in 2013, that was the first and last time. Northstar's pre-tabbed Far/Aim comes out clean, organized and accurate. The one I did was a complete mess, and took way too much time. I've paid for this convenience twice now and have no regrets.

This is my second year purchasing the Pre-Tabbed FAR/AIM for Private Pilot from Northstar Aviation References, and once again, I’m impressed. The pre-tabbed format is a game-changer, making it incredibly easy to access key sections quickly during study sessions or in-flight planning.

Northstar Aviation References does a fantastic job with the tabbing—it’s precise, durable, and perfectly organized to help pilots focus on what matters most. Highly recommend for anyone looking to streamline their FAR/AIM reference experience!

This is a must-have resource that has been meticulously put together. The pre-tabbed and marked pages alleviates having to painfully do them yourself and it you're someone like me, I couldn't write small enough to properly mark the tabs much less read my own writing. I'd highly recommend this book to all student and current pilots.

I used to think the tabs were an expensive luxury, but I was wrong. I use them so much in my teaching that they become dogeared and bent very quickly. Very useful for any CFI that teaches….

It’s perfect. It’s EXACTLY what I needed to see- organized, easy to reference, convenient. All the effort they put into organizing this has made my study time much more efficient. With all the nerves of my upcoming checkride, efficient studying is what I live for. A lot of love was put into this, especially the little stickers that bring your eye DIRECTLY to the reg the tab is for. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I just purchased this book to help me along the way! It was well money spent! It’s made it easier and quicker to get where I’m heading to in the book! It’s worth spending the extra couple dollars for this book!

I love my tabbed FAR/AIM! This is my fourth year using them and they are great for getting to the info you need quickly. Great for study, practical exams and regular everyday review/flying. You can't remember everything, but it is easy to look up with Northstar's pre-tabbed FAR/AIM !!

This is great! I couldn’t have done a better job if I tabbed it all myself. For someone that doesn’t have much spare time, I recommend getting the pre-tabbed far/aim by Northstar. Worth every penny. Very well done. Came in handy on my oral portion of my check. I am able to quickly reference and identify regulations. I had my doubts. It’s expensive but considering how well it is put together, I understand why. The value exceeds the price tag. I’m a very happy customer! Thank you, June!!

I have used Tabbed FAR's from other companies, but this one from Northstar Aviation References is by far my favorite, hands down. The tabs are much sturdier, and perfectly placed.

My DPE was highly impressed that I had a tabbed reference with me.
