For years, obtaining an Information Manual has been surprisingly difficult. But not any more. These original manuals are a great way to review key subjects before flight lessons and are invaluable when transitioning to a new airplane. They are also perfect for renters who do not have access to an airplane-specific Pilot's Operating Handbook. Includes important information like checklists, limitations, systems descriptions and performance charts. An essential for students and professionals alike.

Arrived as a spiral binded booklet, not the standard glued book format so it is easy to flip to and keep pages open. As with other AIM, has suppliments for KAP 140 and other optional equipment

Prompt service.
Great price matching program.
Cons
No where in the description of the manual was there a statement on the difference between the 182T manual and the T182T manual. I ended up ordering the wrong one and had to send it back.

It's awful that manufacturers of hundred thousand dollar aircraft feel the need to charge for the AIMs, and not just make them available online for PDF download. Plus the AIMs are still awfully organized (thanks FAA!). But it is what it is.
General Comments
The 182T is the AIM for the typical 182 with G1000. The T182T (very confusing) is for the Turbo-charged 182 with G1000. The first T stands for Turbo-charged, the last T for Technically Advanced.
