Great Size easey to use. I will use gleim from now on!

  • By Brady from Oakley UT USA on Wednesday, January 19, 2011
  • Pros: Very nice size and easy to use
  • Cons: paper is too thin
  • Review: I love how easy it is to use! It is just the right size I do not like the other versions because they are too thick for the size that they are!! The only thing I would change is the paper type it is very thin and the High lighter shows through. I would prefer white pages instead of the newspaper type!

  • Review: I've been away from flying too long. I needed the FAR's and the new maps. I'm back to flying as though I've never been away. Thanks for the help. Now I need some new gadgets...

Convenient size is easy to read

  • By A Customer from Homer, AK on Thursday, June 17, 2010
  • Pros: Readability
  • Cons: None
  • Review: It is slightly wider than other FAR/AIM books that are published. This permits the book to lay flat and stay open when reading the material. It also seems to be easier to find the material you are looking for and the font/size of the text reads easily.

Readability is really substandard

  • By Bill from Chesapeake, VA on Sunday, April 7, 2024
  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Gleim's production changes didn't reduce the cost significantly enough to warrant the compromise in readability and general utility.
  • Review: Gleim missed the boat when it came to leveraging the additional size afforded by the 7 x 9 format (which Jeppesen has used for years). They reduced the type size in order to reduce the number of pages (e.g., my last Jeppesen version contains 400 more pages). In addition, Gleim committed several typography and printing mistakes: they selected a sans serif type face, reduced line leading, reduced the font size (all of which reduce readability), and they printed it on lighter paper stock (which created a lot of bleed through on the sheet that further reduces readability). In addition, they did not allow sufficient page on the binding edge and type runs into the binding gutter - another readability and utility error.
