Aeronautical Information Manual

The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) is a comprehensive guide used by pilots and aviation professionals that provides essential information about safe and efficient flight operations. It covers topics such as air traffic control procedures, navigation, communication protocols, weather considerations, and airport details. Think of it as a rulebook or reference manual that helps ensure all aircraft operate smoothly and safely within the national airspace system, promoting consistent practices and understanding among the aviation community. The AIM is regularly updated to reflect current standards and procedures, supporting safe and coordinated air travel.
