Ratings and reviews

No (obvious) way to edit search text, and no search history. So if you misspell a search, you must retype the whole thing. Trailing space in search text (added when you tap a suggested word) is erroneously included in the search string and should be automatically trimmed. Section Tables of Contents, as in the printed version, are not included. The "Highlights" page is blank. Given these deficiencies, the GOVREGS app, with it's own minor frustrations, works equally as well, and it's free.

I can't highlight things on my phone or tablet, and have them cross-synchronize. That would make this app invaluable. I usually buy a paper copy each year just to transfer my highlights over from year to year. The search function tends to bring back an overwhelming amount of results, if there were a way to narrow down which section it's searching, that, and the highlight cross-device syncing would bring it to 4 or 5 stars for me.

The app is great I really like, a must have for a professional pilot. I saw that is missing the pilot/controller glossary, the NASA report general form, and the index. The index makes it easier to locate specific information (even easier than the search bar because sometimes you don't know the specific terms).

What's new

The regulations and Aeronautical Information Manual have been updated to reflect current Federal Register and FAA information, including AIM Change 3. PLUS - minor update to glossary items and small bug fix.
