FSDO: picking up Advisory Circular’s

    That’s one I can answer. No.

    The FAA used to print tons of stuff and hand it out at various safety events. But, maybe around 20 years ago they pretty much got out of the printed material distribution business. It may not have looked that way from the outside because most FSDO’s still had a storeroom full of paper and they kept handing that out until it was exhausted. Now, about the only paper the FAA gives out would be something like a poster.

    However, you can get AC’s online at this site:
