Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

The Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for ensuring the safe, efficient, and secure use of the Nation’s

airspace, by military as well as civil aviation, for promoting safety in air commerce, for encouraging and

developing civil aeronautics, including new aviation technology, and for supporting the requirements of national

defense.

The activities required to carry out these responsibilities include: safety regulations; airspace management and

the establishment, operation, and maintenance of a civil−military common system of air traffic control (ATC)

and navigation facilities; research and development in support of the fostering of a national system of airports,

promulgation of standards and specifications for civil airports, and administration of Federal grants−in−aid for

developing public airports; various joint and coope rative activities with the Department of Defense; and

technical assistance (under State Department auspices) to other countries.

Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)

Basic Flight Information and ATC Procedures

This manual is designed to provide the aviation community with basic flight information and ATC procedures

for use in the National Airspace System (NAS) of the United States. An international version called the

Aeronautical Information Publication contains parallel information, as well as specific information on the

international airports for use by the international community.

This manual contains the fundamentals required in order to fly in the United States NAS. It also contains items

of interest to pilots concerning health and medical facts, factors affecting flight safety, a pilot/controller glossary

of terms used in the ATC System, and information on safety, accident, and hazard reporting.

This manual is complemented by other operational publications which are available via separate subscriptions.

These publications are:

The Chart Supplement U.S., the Chart Supplemen t Alaska, and the Chart Supplement Pacific − These

publications contain information on airports, communications, navigation aids, instrument landing systems,

VOR receiver check points, preferred routes, Flight Service Station/Weather Service telephone numbers, Air

Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) frequencies, part−time surface areas, and various other pertinent special

notices essential to air navigation. These publications are available through a network of FAA approved print

providers. A listing of products, dates of latest editions, and print providers is available on the Aeronautical

Information Services (AIS) website at: http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/print_providers/.
