|  Advisory Circulars
Trying to understand what exactly advisory circulars are for. All I know is it involves some kind of aviation information and can be used for a checklist of some sort for the FARs ? If anyone can explain in better detail what and how this works, that would be great.

Advisory Circulars explain regulations in easy-to-understand words. They spell out how to comply with a regulation. They give an example of how to. They don't say you have to do it this way, but here is a way to do it and we will accept this method of compliance. That's why they are called "Advisory"; it is a way that is 'advised' on how to accomplish a regulation. It is how to do something in plain language which is not legally binding. |

Yep, they just spell out some regs and even other pertinent information that needs to be dissected. Even some of the FAA books you use are "Advisory Circulars"; 00-6A for one. If you just go to FAA.gov and start looking at all the ACs out there its pretty amazing and worth the time. |

Not exactly helpful, but here's what the AIM says about them: ============================== Advisory Circulars - The FAA issues Advisory Circulars (ACs) to inform the aviation public in a systematic way of nonregulatory material. Unless incorporated into a regulation by reference, the contents of an advisory circular are not binding on the public. Advisory Circulars are issued in a numbered subject system corresponding to the subject areas of the Code of Federal Regulations. ============================== That's kind of a regulese way of saying that they are publications put out by the FAA that discuss aviation topics but without going thorugh the formality of the proposal-comment-publication process that regulations go through. The comment about not being binding on the public is a bit of an overstatement: it's technically correct but, like the AIM itself, may end up being used to set a standard of "reasonable" conduct. |
