Northstar Aviation's pre-tabbed FAR/AIMs have been a trusted tool for thousands and thousands of pilots and student pilots since 2020. Northstar Aviation's tabs are exactly what student pilots need to study the regulations so that they can fly as safely and efficiently as possible. Northstar's tabs are durable, color-coded, and hone in precisely on the most important regulations that all pilots should know from student pilots, private pilots to commercial pilots, instructors and beyond! With these tabs, pilots can quickly reference key regulations, improve their study process, and ensure they are always prepared for their flights, making them an essential resource for any pilot in training or active flight.

FAQs

What do the colors mean?

Each copy of the Pre-Tabbed FAR/AIM will come with a color guide that details how to interpret each color used on these tabs. The tabs are color coded depending upon the version you choose: General (Private) Pilot regulations, Instrument, Commercial, Instructor regulations and AIM Chapters.

What is tabbed out?

The tabs are created from ASA’s suggested study list (found in the FAR/AIM itself). Not every single regulation found on the list is tabbed out (in order to prevent overcrowding the book with tabs). Instead, the most important and commonly focused-on regulations have been tabbed.

How many tabs per book?

• Private Pilot: 50 Tabs
• Instrument: 50 Tabs
• Commercial: 50 Tabs
• Private + Instrument: 75 Tabs
• Private + Instrument + Commercial: 75 Tabs
• Certified Flight Instructor: 75 Tabs
• Certified Flight Instructor + Instrument: 100 Tabs

Each tab contains one regulation or a hyphenated set of regulations. We condense multiple regulations on to more tabs where we can in order to save space. Therefore, less tabs does not necessarily equal less regulations highlighted.

Are parts 135 or 121 in this book?

No. ASA does not print parts 135 or 121 in the FAR/AIM. Instead, you can find those in the FAR-FC, which we currently do not tab.
