Is your FAR/AIM current?

If it's a paper copy the answer is almost always no.  Why Jeppeson, King, ASA and other publishers pick October to release their paper copies of these most important pilot publications is somewhat difficult to understand. The main section of the FAR (CFR Title 14) is updated 1 January each year and the AIM is updated with a change about every 6 months.  A new AIM Manual was just released this past July. Usually, after less than 3 months, most of the paper book is obsolete and after 6 months, the only current section in the whole book is CFR Title 49, on accident reporting and flight schools which gets updated each October.

Bush to Fix Airline Delays (or is he?)
According to Time Magazine, President Bush said that he has asked his transportation secretary to make sure that travelers delayed at airports are treated fairly. The president urged Congress to look at legislation to modernize the FAA to prevent inconvenience. He said he instructed the Transportation Secretary to report back to him quickly about ways to make sure air passengers are treated appropriately, their complaints are addressed and progress is made to ease congestion in the skies.  "Endless hours sitting in an airplane on a runway with no communication between a pilot and the airport is just not right," he said.

Amen to that.  Or, is this a cleaver sales prelude to changing how the FAA is funded to push more of the cost from airlines to private flights?  Currently, the FAA relies on revenue from various taxes, including a fuel tax and a passenger ticket tax to fund its operations.  According to Kimplinger and other sources, The FAA will soon ask to scrap the current ticket tax, to be replaced by per-aircraft user fees. That would mean business jets and perhaps other private aircraft would end up paying substantially more than they do now.
