That contains absolutely everything in one book. It's about the same size as a big novel. The USA is one of the most litigiousness countries on earth and they don't seem to need 3+ plus manuals with thousands of pages for their regs. All for $26 USD.
But they don't have a Civil Aviation
Safety Authority in the USA, do they? Since, according to CASA, there is nothing safer than an airplane parked in a hangar (preferably under continual maintenance/upgrade to meet the latest regs, thus keeping LAMEs in work), it seems the folks over there are more interested in enabling people to fly.
