About FAR/AIM
This is not a government app and Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA) is not a government entity. This app presents information from Titles 14 and 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 and 49 CFR) published in the Federal Registers and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circulars, Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) and policy documents published on the FAA website. ASA curates, formats and presents this public domain information available from https://www.faa.gov/ that is pertinent to pilots, flight instructors, flight crew, and aviation mechanics. ASA has built a reputation for providing the aviation community with the most accurate and reliable FAR/AIM products available. The FAR/AIM app continues this tradition, containing information from Titles 14 and 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 and 49 CFR) pertinent to pilots, flight instructors, flight crew, and aviation mechanics, combined with the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), and Pilot/Controller Glossary.

What FAR/AIM Is Used For
FAR/AIM appears to be an education-focused reference app for people who work with FAA rules and aviation procedures. Based on the metadata, it brings together Federal Aviation Regulations, the Aeronautical Information Manual, advisory circulars, and a pilot/controller glossary in one phone app for quick study and lookup. It may be especially useful when you need to review specific rules without carrying printed materials.
Common use cases include studying for pilot certificates, reviewing regulations for flight instruction, checking maintenance-related requirements, and looking up operational guidance for flight crew. The app also seems geared toward organized study, with certificate-based lists, text search, bookmarks, highlights, and adjustable text size. Its network access permission likely supports content updates, which may help keep FAA-related material current. Because it is a phone app with profile and landscape viewing, it appears suited to reading on the go, during training, or as a desk-side aviation reference.
