Know what you are reading

Not every FAA document carries the same weight. The library labels every page so you always know whether you are looking at binding regulation, FAA guidance, a certification standard, or a SkeyeMentor explanation.

REGULATION — LEGALLY BINDING
Text published in the Code of Federal Regulations. Regulations are legally binding on pilots and operators.
ACS — CERTIFICATION STANDARD
Airman Certification Standards. The ACS defines what an applicant must know, consider and do to pass a practical test. It is a certification standard, not a regulation.
AIM — FAA OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE
Aeronautical Information Manual. FAA operational guidance and recommended practices. The AIM is not regulatory, although it often explains how to comply with regulations.
SKEYEMENTOR — EDUCATIONAL EXPLANATION
Written by SkeyeMentor to help you study. Educational only — not an official FAA source and not legal advice.

SkeyeMentor FAA Library is an educational reference and study aid. Regulatory and FAA materials can change. SkeyeMentor provides links and contextual explanations to help pilots study, but users should verify current requirements through official FAA, eCFR and other applicable government sources before relying on them operationally. SkeyeMentor explanations are educational and are not legal advice.
