Flight Information Publication Policy
Flight Information Publication Policy
The following is in essence, the statement issued by
the FAA Administrator and published in the
December 10, 1964, issue of the Federal Register,
concerning the FAA policy as pertaining to the type
of information that will be published as NOTAMs and
in the Aeronautical Information Manual.
a. It is a pilot's inherent responsibility to be alert at
all times for and in anticipation of all circumstances,
situations, and conditions affecting the safe operation
of the aircraft. For example, a pilot should expect to
find air traffic at any time or place. At or near both civil
and military airports and in the vicinity of known
training areas, a pilot should expect concentrated air
traffic and realize concentrations of air traffic are not
limited to these places.
b. It is the general practice of the agency to advertise
by NOTAM or other flight information publications
such information it may deem appropriate; information
which the agency may from time to time
make available to pilots is solely for the purpose of assisting
them in executing their regulatory responsibilities.
Such information serves the aviation community
as a whole and not pilots individually.
c. The fact that the agency under one particular situation
or another may or may not furnish information
does not serve as a precedent of the agency's responsibility
to the aviation community; neither does it
give assurance that other information of the same or
similar nature will be advertised, nor, does it guarantee
that any and all information known to the agency
will be advertised.
d. This publication, while not regulatory, provides
information which reflects examples of operating
techniques and procedures which may be requirements
in other federal publications or regulations. It
is made available solely to assist pilots in executing
their responsibilities required by other publications.
Consistent with the foregoing, it shall be the policy of
the Federal Aviation Administration to furnish
information only when, in the opinion of the agency,
a unique situation should be advertised and not to
furnish routine information such as concentrations of
air traffic, either civil or military. The Aeronautical
Information Manual will not contain informative
items concerning everyday circumstances that pilots
should, either by good practices or regulation, expect
to encounter or avoid.

Regulations and Advisory Circulars
Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)
Code of Federal Regulations and Advisory Circulars
Code of Federal Regulations ‐ The FAA publishes the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) to make readily
available to the aviation community the regulatory
requirements placed upon them. These regulations
are sold as individual parts by the Superintendent of
Documents.
The more frequently amended parts are sold on
subscription service with subscribers receiving
changes automatically as issued. Less active parts are
sold on a single-sale basis. Changes to single‐sale
parts will be sold separately as issued. Information
concerning these changes will be furnished by the
FAA through its Status of Federal Aviation
Regulations, AC 00-44.
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 (CFRs) (Title 14,
Chapter 1, FAA).
AC 00-2, Advisory Circular Checklist and Status of
Other FAA Publications, contains advisory circulars
that are for sale as well as those distributed
free-of-charge by the FAA.
NOTEThe
above information relating to CFRs and ACs is
extracted from AC 00-2. Many of the CFRs and ACs listed
