Advisory Circular Checklist -- Advisory circulars are listed in the FAA publication "Advisory Circular Checklist," AC 00-2 (current version is AC 002-.14, June 8, 2004). The checklist is no longer available in printed form, only on the FAA's website -- see on-line copy of Advisory Circular Checklist The first few pages are reprinted below (from AC 00-2.13).

Ordering Publications -- AC 00-2.13 has an order form for FAA publications. Most printed copies of circulars are free, and the FAA will send up to 10 free copies on request. Allow three to four weeks for delivery.

Digital copies (PDF) of circulars are available at the FAA website. See the complete directory of advisory circulars (with links to circulars) or specifically airport-related advisory circulars.

Numbering System -- Each advisory circular has a two-part publication number, e.g., AC 150-21. The first number corresponds to a "Part" of the Federal Aviation Regulations (published in the Code of Federal Regulations), and thus serves to indicate the general subject matter of the AC. In the example, "150" is the subject number for "airport planning" (corresponding to 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 150). An A, B, C, etc., following a circular number indicates a revised edition. Sometimes changes are made to a circular without revising the entire document; in these cases the revised pages are issued separately, and the revised pages are indicated by the circular number followed by "Chg. 1", "Chg. 2", etc. (e.g., AC 20-84 Chg. 1).

2. Cancellation. AC 00-2.12 dated August 15, 1998, is canceled.

3. Explanation of AC system. The FAA issues advisory circulars to inform the 
aviation public in a systematic way of non-regulatory material. Unless 
incorporated into a regulation by reference, the contents of an advisory 
circular are not binding on the public. Advisory circulars are issued in a 
numbered-subject system corresponding to the subject areas of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (FAR) (Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 
1, Federal Aviation Administration). An AC is issued to provide guidance and 
information in a designated subject area or to show a method acceptable to 
the Administrator for complying with a related Federal Aviation Regulation.

4. The Advisory Circular Checklist.

  a. General. The checklist is divided into five appendices. Appendix 1 
explains the numbering system. Appendix 2 lists cancellations that have 
occurred since the previous issuance. Appendix 3 gives in numeric sequence

the contents is given for each entry. The airplane symbol preceding all AC
