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!

FAQs

What do the colors mean?

Each copy of the Pre-Tabbed FAR/AIM will contain a helpful guide to the colors, their meanings and special tab types. This color guide will be attached to the inside cover of your pre-tabbed FAR/AIM. Generally, each color is tied to a license/rating type (blue for private, red for instrument etc.). 

What is tabbed out?

Each of our tabs are created from ASA’s own 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. It should also be noted that single tabs can actually cover several different regulations by grouping them under a single header. So even if a book contains 50 tabs, that doesn't mean only 50 regulations are tabbed out. 

How many tabs are in each version?

Private Pilot - 50 Tabs

Instrument Pilot - 50 Tabs

Commercial Pilot - 50 Tabs

Private + Instrument Combo - 75 Tabs

Private + Instrument + Commercial Combo - 75 Tabs

CFI - 75 Tabs

CFI + Instrument Instructor - 100 Tabs

Please note that wherever possible, we try to prevent overcrowding pages with tabs by placing multiple regulations on a single tab. Therefore, one tab does not always equal one regulation. One tab in many cases contains several regulations. 

How are the FAR/AIMs packaged for shipping?

Northstar Aviation uses a combination of shaped foam and clamshell boxes to protect both the book and tabs as best as possible in transit. We recommend you keep the box for future transportation of your book!
