Regulatory Reference Center
Current FAA truth for ground school students — regulations and references, kept current automatically and shaped to your course.
Your course material is exactly as your instructor taught it — era-authentic, lecture-synced. The Regulatory Reference Center is its counterpart: current FAA truth, drawn directly from the FAA's official eCFR database and other primary sources, and refreshed automatically so what you research here is what the FAA publishes today. When you sit for your FAA knowledge test, the test is built from current editions — this is where you prepare for that.
Every regulation section below is verbatim public-domain text from eCFR.gov. It is never paraphrased or summarized. Follow the source link on any section to read it in the FAA's own interface.
Kept current, automatically
Regulation text is synced from the FAA's eCFR and stamped with the issue date it was drawn from.

Temporary Flight Restrictions
TFRs are issued by NOTAM and change without notice, so there is no static list to publish — the FAA's live sources below are the current truth, always. Check them before every flight; flying through an active TFR is a certificate action.
