I'm studying the FAR/AIM and I keep seeing something like 91.195-91.199 [Reserved]. What does that mean? What is it reserved for?

Well golly, that was a waste of a thread! I figured it was something simple enough but just wanted to actually know.

Did you also happen notice that most of the FAR have odd numbers?

I did notice that. However not all of them do, which bothered me a little. I'm always curious to know why with those sorts of things but didn't bother me nearly as bad as the whole [Reserved] thing.
So why odds? Is that also so they can leave some (evens) for future use?

Yes. That's pretty much it. Have you ever tried to put together a system for organizing things and realized later that you have another item that really belongs in a certain spot? If it's a file cabinet, you just insert a file. But in a numerical system, you'd have to do extensive renumbering when you had a few additions. Odd-only helps put some spacers so that, if they come up with a reg that subject-wise belongs somewhere between, say 61.51 and 61.59, there's some place to put it.
On this whole thing of being "bothered" by it, though....

Well, not quite bothered. I can't think of a good word. However, I am a bit of a perfectionist about some things and so it did jump out at me very quickly. At first I assumed they were all odds but then I came across a few evens and then proceeded to waste time looking for the structure in it.

It disturbs me that as a pre-solo, private pilot student you are both reading and analyzing the FARs. It almost sounds like you are interested in aviation, and that you might (gasp!) be actually completing your instructor's assignments, or even worse, studying on your own!

Ian, you have me completely wrong. I was coloring in it with my neice the other day and just happened to notice.
Actually, I'm a little behind on my ground work, which is why I sooooo much appreciate that Ryan, my instructor (exleardriver), does so much ground instruction with me. I think even if I could afford to take more lessons a week that it wouldn't do me much good at this point because my schedule is so busy it really is hard for me to find the time to really sit down and study, but I've been keeping my butt awake at night after I get off both jobs (about 15hours of work) and using my lunches to study some. Hopefully I can get caught up. I'm taking it slow, not in a hurry but I also don't want to take 2years, so I've got down to business with it a little more in the past week or so.
