The 2023 FAR for Flight Crew and FAR for Aviation Maintenance Technicians are now available for order and will begin shipping in mid-July. The ASA FAR/AIM Series delivers the accurate, reliable, and trusted content aviators and mechanics have come to expect from the leaders in aviation training. Printed on premium paper and known for our time-tested and preferred format and layout, the ASA FAR/AIM Series books are indexed and show clearly-marked changes since the last release for quick reference.

An Instrument Rating on a pilot certificate opens new doors—enabling a pilot to fly more, day or night, in clear or cloudy weather. A pilot with an Instrument Rating is a skilled aviator who has demonstrated mastery of the airplane’s instruments and can use preflight and enroute information, aeronautical decision making (ADM), and their knowledge of procedures and regulations to execute a safe flight. The Pilot’s Manual: Instrument Flying provides everything a pilot needs to earn their Instrument Rating and fly safely under instrument flight rules (IFR) and in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).

First published in 2009, this 2022 edition of the FAA Risk Management Handbook provides tools to help pilots recognize and manage risk and presents definitive practical guidance on how to implement and conduct the "identify, assess, and mitigate" tasks identified in the Airman Certification Standards (ACS). Pilots who practice effective risk management have predetermined personal standards and have formed habit patterns and checklists to incorporate them. This handbook presents methods that pilots of all types of aircraft can use to manage the workloads associated with each phase of flight, resulting in a safer, more enjoyable, and less stressful experience for pilots and passengers alike.

The Oral and Practical Exam is the last step for the certification of an aviation mechanic. Students will work one-on-one with a designated mechanic evaluator (DME) who will determine if they possess the knowledge, risk management, and skill level required to be issued an FAA Aviation Mechanic airman certificate. The Aviation Mechanic Oral & Practical Exam Guide will help students prepare for this significant step toward their new career.

The fourth edition of this book prepares aviation mechanic applicants to demonstrate their knowledge, skill and understanding of the tasks outlined in the FAA certification standards. This book includes information on the certification process, typical projects, required skill levels, and practical knowledge requirements in a question-and-answer format, with references defined for further study.

The new Aviation Mechanic – General, Airframe, and Powerplant Airman Certification Standards (ASA-ACS-1) will be shipping by the end of July. This newly released FAA publication defines the aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and skills required for the Mechanic Certificate. Also included within the text is the new FAA-G-ACS-1; a companion guide to the Aviation Mechanic General, Airframe, and Powerplant Airman Certification Standards that provides additional information pertinent to anyone involved with the FAA airman certification process. Additionally, ASA has included references for each subject, so applicants, instructors, and evaluators will know which FAA publication to look to for additional guidance on the subject, including the scope and depth of the expected knowledge and skill.

Notes of a Seaplane Instructor is a distillation of all the tips, techniques and procedures of a veteran flyer and teacher, in an accessible and informative format. Author Burke Mees has an affinity for the "feel of the floats on the water" and how to communicate it in writing, as well as a sensible, professional approach which lends a truly "one-on-one" aspect to reading his book.
