User Reviews

PilotFAR/AIM is valued for its fast search, broad content, and strong support, with easy navigation and good update cadence for subscribers. However, reviews repeatedly note outdated content and delayed updates, contentious pricing/licensing, occasional search and stability issues, and a need for UI modernization and feature improvements (Mac version, backup, and clearer change-tracking).
Pros
  • Fast, powerful search that quickly finds FAR/AIM content.
  • Rich content with strong organization features (bookmarks, folders, highlighting, glossary).
  • Responsive customer support with quick responses.
  • Easy-to-use interface and navigation.
  • Content is updated regularly for subscribers, helping keep references current.
Cons
  • Content frequently outdated or updates delayed/not delivered, risking out-of-date regulations.
  • Pricing and licensing concerns: paid updates, subscription costs, and per-device purchases.
  • Search can be erratic or misparse queries, with little feedback on what changed after updates.
  • Stability issues, including startup crashes and content blanks after renewal prompts.
  • UX gaps: older UI, missing Mac app, limited bookmark management and lack of automatic cloud backup.

Once i learned how the search feature function - go back one line - i found this app to be the best for me to reference regs and the AIM. The update feature is seamless and quick. The FAR quick find is a great feature .

I love the UI, though as others have mentioned, searches can be erratic at times. I used to rely on this as a sole reference source. But my confidence has been shaken by just too many instances of finding the references in here are outdated and superseded. For a while they flagged changes with a hot link to an official e-source before they updated their entries. That was fine by me, but I haven’t seen it happening lately. If I have to keep checking with FAA or Cornell Law sites to be sure I’m reading the latest, it kind of defeats the the utility of this app.

Pretty simple to use, but the UX needs some modernization: - Bookmark management from a single screen (drag and drop) - Automatic iCloud backup/sync - Reg collection presets (GA/FC/AMT, etc) seem to miss a few items and don’t allow multiple selections - Change identification - A Mac version would be great
