FARs Translated
by Capt. David Wright
Explains the FARs parts 61, 91, and NTSB accident reporting in simple understandable terms for the student pilot.
Written for student pilots, this unique books helps explain the FARs in ways which are easily understandable to your everyday flying and interaction with the air traffic system.
By the Author:
I hope the following information aids pilots in training. The Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR’s) are important in the fact that they provide order to operating within the United States Civil Airspace. Regulations are written by bureaucrats in Washington D.C. and these lawmakers use the Code of Federal Regulations as templates in designing the FAR’s. These FAR’s are full of “legalese”. You would think that the Federal Aviation Administration believes that pilots are qualified as lawyers by the way that the rules are designed for aviation.
I have tried to translate the FAR’s by working the logic paths of the rules into a method understandable to the average pilot. Please use this information as a study guide. I believe my experience as a pilot since 1984 and an instructor since 1990 has afforded me a practical understanding of these rules.
In today’s litigious society, I feel I must include this disclaimer. "This translation of the FAR’s is to be used only for informational or training purposes. This translation is not a legal document. I can not be held responsible for your use of this information.

Preface:
When I started flying over a quarter of a century ago, my FAR/AIM book was barely an inch thick.
A half-century ago, when Captain Jeppesen began writing airspace procedures in his “little black book,” flying was even less complicated but far less reliable as well. So today, the demand for dependable schedules and safety in increasingly congested airspace has forced pilots to give up the “romance” of flying in favor of complex, and sometimes confusing regulations.
Intended to increase safety and make common sense of the law, the Federal Aviation Regulations have become so detailed, complex and burdensome that pilots have found themselves saying “I know what it says, but what does it mean?” David Wright’s book is a successful endeavor on his part to help the pilot answer the question “what does it mean” by, in part, providing a broad interpretation to help the pilot see the regulatory “big picture.”
Serious pilots will want this book to be part of their permanent library today even though Captain Jeppesen would be astounded by its size.
