Have you ever considered studying with a Northstar Pre-Tabbed FARAIM? If you’ve been a student pilot for even a few days, you already know there’s a lot to learn before your checkride (your final licensing exam).
You need to know, among other things:
-
How to fly the plane, including landings, maneuvers, and emergency procedures.
-
The science of flight and weather, so you understand why things happen in the air.
-
Your specific aircraft, including systems and engine logs.
-
Reading METARs and PIREPs, and communicating with ATC.
-
Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), the “rules of the road” for pilots.
The FARs cover everything from legal requirements for certificates (like §61.3) to fuel requirements for VFR flights (§91.151). You’ll be drilled on these regulations throughout training. The good news? You don’t need to know every FAR—just the ones relevant to your certificate.
So how do you start? First, you need the book. Most instructors recommend the ASA FAR/AIM, though companies like Gleim also produce copies. All these books are essentially the same—reprints of federal law—so every pilot is working from the same rules.
You’ll need your FAR/AIM throughout training and it’s wise to have it at your oral checkride. You won’t be flipping through pages constantly during the exam, but having it there shows you’re prepared. Tabbing the book is key for quick reference under pressure. Doing it yourself takes time and can be tedious—but it’s crucial for study and checkride readiness.
That’s where a Northstar Pre-Tabbed FARAIM comes in:
-
Save time. Pre-tabbed books let you skip hours of manually creating tabs, so you can spend more time actually studying.
-
Durability and legibility. Our plastic tabs are durable and laser printed, so they stay clear and readable no matter how often your book travels with you.
-
Color-coded convenience. Tabs correspond to colored dots on the page, making it easy to find the exact regulation you need—even under pressure.
In short, a Northstar Pre-Tabbed FAR/AIM saves you time, keeps your book organized, and makes studying FARs more efficient.
