Current FAA AIM online edition

The FAA AIM is the Aeronautical Information Manual. As of 2026-08-03, the FAA online AIM is Basic with Change 1, 2, and 3, effective July 9, 2026 — the third change to the current Basic AIM, and the third issued exactly 168 days after the one before it. This page indexes 432 AIM paragraphs across the FAA's eleven chapters for pilot-friendly study and oral-exam practice.

AIM change history (FAA effective dates)

Change 3July 9, 2026Current. Folded into the online Basic with Change 1, 2, and 3 (HTML and PDF).
Change 2January 22, 2026The change the FAA Explanation of Changes page still documents in HTML.
Change 1August 7, 2025First change to the current Basic AIM.

Those three changes are 168 days apart, so the next AIM change is expected in late December 2026. That date is a GroundScholar estimate from the published spacing, not an FAA-published date — the FAA does not publish a forward AIM change calendar, so verify the effective date on the FAA publications page before a checkride.

Most private-pilot AIM study lives in airspace, ATC, traffic procedures, emergencies, weather, and medical facts.

AIM FAQ

Q1What is the FAA AIM Aeronautical Information Manual?

The FAA AIM is the Aeronautical Information Manual: the FAA guide to basic flight information, air traffic control procedures, airport operations, weather services, safety-of-flight practices, and medical facts for pilots. The current FAA online edition is Basic with Change 1, 2, and 3, effective July 9, 2026.

Q2Is the AIM regulatory like the FAR?

The AIM is not the regulation itself; the FARs are the legal rules in Title 14 CFR. Pilots still use the AIM because it explains ATC procedures, services, phraseology, airport operations, weather information, and safety practices that checkrides and real flights expect you to know.

Q3Where can I read the current AIM online?

Read the FAA HTML AIM for the official source text, then use GroundScholar to jump by paragraph and practice the oral-exam version of the same topic. This page indexes the AIM by chapter and paragraph so a search for "AIM 4-2-3" or "AIM Chapter 7" lands on the relevant section.

Q4Which AIM chapters should a student pilot study first?

Start with Chapter 3 airspace, Chapter 4 air traffic control, Chapter 5 traffic procedures, Chapter 6 emergency procedures, Chapter 7 safety of flight and weather, and Chapter 8 medical facts. Those chapters map directly to common private-pilot oral questions.

Q5How often is the FAA AIM updated, and when is the next AIM change?

The FAA issues numbered changes to the AIM rather than a new manual each year. Read off the FAA publications page on 2026-08-03, the three changes to the current Basic AIM took effect August 7, 2025 (Change 1), January 22, 2026 (Change 2), and July 9, 2026 (Change 3) — each exactly 168 days apart. On that spacing the next change would land in late December 2026; that projection is a GroundScholar estimate, not an FAA-published date, so confirm the effective date on the FAA publications page before a checkride.

Q6Which AIM chapter covers airspace, GPS, icing, or radio calls?

Airspace is Chapter 3. GPS, RNAV and PBN are Chapter 1, Air Navigation. Icing, thunderstorms and every other weather subject sit in Chapter 7, Safety of Flight, under Meteorology. Radio phraseology and initial callups are Chapter 4, Air Traffic Control, and lost communications is Chapter 6, Emergency Procedures. The chapter index below lists what each of the eleven chapters covers.

Q7Is there an AIM 2026 PDF, and is the online AIM the same thing?

Yes. The FAA publishes the current AIM as both HTML and PDF under the same label — Basic with Change 1, 2, and 3, effective July 9, 2026 — on the FAA publications page, so the online manual and the 2026 PDF carry identical text. GroundScholar indexes the same paragraphs so you can link or drill a single paragraph instead of scrolling a PDF.

Common AIM cross-references

Start with the paragraphs pilots cite in real checkride answers.

These AIM sections connect radio work, pilot-in-command authority, ATC roles, and wake-turbulence decisions before you browse the full manual.

Studying the AIM?

Don't memorize. Practice it.

Adaptive drill questions tied to AIM + FAR. Mock checkrides predict your DPE pass rate, and FAA oral exam prep turns each AIM section into a question a DPE would actually ask.
