This is a study index built from configured FAA ACS documents. The FAA publication remains authoritative.
What this index publishes
| Source documents | 14 configured FAA ACS documents |

Keeping each Task intact avoids turning the complete item corpus into thousands of thin pages. Item-code searches can still land on anchored rows within the containing Task page.
