This app doesn't collect data, run analytics, or phone home. It's a reference tool, not a platform. All content is sourced directly from faa.gov and ecfr.gov — public-domain U.S. government works.
Always verify against the official FAA PDF before a checkride or maintenance action. This app is a study and reference aid, not a substitute for official FAA publications
