How this book is built
Every claim in it has a citation you can go and check.
We write against the FAA’s own published text rather than against somebody’s summary of it, and the sources are re-read on a weekly review. When the FAA changes a rule or changes the test, the book changes with it.
- Nothing is charged before it ships. Titles still in production are marked as such on this page rather than sold as though they were ready.
- Updated when the FAA changes something, not on a publishing schedule.
- Not an FAA product. Independent study material, not affiliated with or approved by the FAA.
