asa far aim version ends 10/31. look in a few pages, that's where the info is. as far as changes, i heard that 2003 (now in effect) requires you to have a picture ID along with your cert and med...like a dl or passport.

I had a friend get asked on his II checkride how he could tell his ASA AIM was current. He couldn't find it at the time, but that's in the same place. From the looks of it, it's "ineffective upon receipt." The picture ID regulation was put into effect about a week ago. It amends 61.3 to require a valid photo ID, which typically will be a driver's license, but could also be an ID card which allows unescorted access to an airport SIDA.

As said before, your most current source is going to be the web. The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations. Links from the FAA website among others. Next most current source is going to be a subscription service like Jeppesen. The ASA version is handy and good for studying and reference, but will have currency lapses potentially immediately on publication. The ASA version 2003 I believe has current info through early September 2002 and printed late September (basing this from my 2001 copy). They will provide a mid year update for free if you fill out the back page.

I have a Jepp FAR/AIM subscription as well. Binder form. Updates normally amount to a page or two here and there. It is a pain to re-highlight updated pages, but it's not all that bad. And it's certainly a lot easier than replacing an entire bound book on a yearly basis!

Do you have a direct link for the price and information on the subscription service?
I've been searching Jeppesen's site for 30 minutes, and only see the BOOK FAR/AIM offered.

FAR/AIM

You may need to enter your country to access the page. If it doesn't work, it's under "charting and navigation services," then "information and reference services."

Into my fourth year of waiting for Jepp's site to become user-friendly...

Yeah, that link will work. I just compared it to the contents of my FARs, and I also have two additional sections: SFAR and TSR (Transportation Security Regulation) which was just effective 2/17/02.

Also, there is NO WAY this would all fit in a 1" binder. If I compress the pages, my FAR alone is 1 1/2" thick. I have it in a 2" binder and the AIM is in another 2"er. I'd ask about that since the online order info indicates it fits in a 1" binder.

If you want to talk with a human (after much automated button punching, that it) you can try 1-800-621-5377.
