Each card is written against the current text of the cited primary source on eCFR, plus the named FAA publication where one applies.
12 cards · review dates are shown on each card.
What this is not
- Learning and review support only — not a legal determination for any flight, aircraft, or pilot.
- Not an aircraft-specific procedure: the POH/AFM, its supplements, and approved checklists control the airplane you fly.
- Not a substitute for current FAA publications, NOTAMs, or a weather briefing.
- Not a substitute for qualified maintenance support, your operator's requirements, or your instructor.
- Summaries are shortened by design. Where a card and the linked source differ, the source controls.
Sources and methodology
- Who it is for
- Certificated pilots re-checking the Part 91 rules that come up before a flight, a flight review or an IPC.
- What you finish with
- Re-read the controlling rule for a specific question — VFR minimums, preflight action, inoperative equipment, airworthiness — and open the exact eCFR section behind it.
- Included
- 12 source-mapped cards, each naming its controlling section
- Search plus category and tag filters across the set
- Per-card version and review date, and a direct link to the current eCFR text
- Try it first
- Open the §91.155 basic VFR weather minimums card: the summary, the controlling section, and the link to the current text.

- Who reviewed it
- Each card is written in-house against the section it cites and carries the date a human last opened that section. Cards are not published without that check.
- Limits
- Review material, not operational authority. The eCFR text controls.
- Not current flight data: no NOTAMs, no weather briefing, no TFRs.
- Twelve foundational cards, free to everyone. More are added as each one clears source review.
