Is anyone aware of a FAR/AIM manual, combined or separate, which is published in an errata sheet format?

It would seem easier to keep up with changes than the current means not to mention the semi-annual changes that can come up.

If there isn't I'm somewhat surprised. I know ASA would never publish one given the huge chunk of revenue they get every winter.
 
Isn't there a "changes since the last edition" section in the FAR/AIM? You could reference that in the online/CD version.

I'm looking at a printed version since that's what a CFI would constantly use with students.

Have you ever tried highlighting a laptop screen? It keeps moving and I have to highlight it again. Then, lesser relevant areas end up highlighted. It's troubling!

The online version lists the changes since the last update, if this helps:

Thanks Jeff.

I did put a copy of that in the back of my 2007 book to reference most recent changes. I've got the 2008 on the way.

I guess there's no easy way to keep going with the same copy and all the notations someone makes unless you make your own loose leaf copy formatted similar to those currently published.

Yup, I agree. That's why I've resorted to just using the online version. 99% of the time I need it, I am near a computer. And, heck, all I need to do is click in my signature. ;)

I used to subscribe to the Sporty's AIM, which was a semi-annual reprint of the official gov't. issue. It always had a changes section in the front, as you see with the online version now. I gave up on the subscription when the FAA's online version became reliable.

I don't know of an equivalent for the FARs.

I used to get a Jeppesen FAR/AIM subscription for that very reason...updates every 14 days, or whatever it is. Take out the old sheet, put in the new, look at the stuff with the black bar in the margin that indicated a change.

Fly safe!

That's something I can do at home. I did create loose leaf versions of the PTS books using modified PDF files and 6x9 paper size. Those have worked great during study to flip back and forth and have the pages stay in place rather than my regular books.

Eventually, I may try something similar with the FAR and AIM books.

I was thinking something might be available commercially since they are updated more frequently.

Beat me to it...we always had a Jepp FAR/AIM book (in the standard jepp approach plate binder) in the dispatch offices I've worked in. Paper is the same as jepp plates, so not sure if that's a problem for you or not, but it's nice to get those updates as they happen
