Klappentext

This is not AI-generated content. The contents were written and verified by subject matter experts from Aviation Supplies & Academics, an 85-year-old aviation company. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you are purchasing a reliable publication.

ASA's ultimate reference book contains more than 13,000 accurate, aviation-specific definitions and acronyms. This eighth edition collects all of the terms in the Federal Aviation Regulations (Title 14 CFR), glossaries from FAA handbooks, advisory circulars, the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), and Pilot/Controller Glossary as well as definitions not found in government publications. Nearly 500 illustrations further define and aid visual recognition of the terms, and the appendices include a useful list of 2,500 aviation acronyms and abbreviations, the phonetic alphabet, and other resources.

In an industry of acronyms and technical language, this comprehensive dictionary is an essential reference book for anyone involved with aviation and space organizations--administrators, pilots, instructors, mechanics, drone operators, colleges and universities, air traffic controllers, manufacturers, engineers, government agencies, airlines, and corporate flight departments--as well as newcomers to the industry and those who speak English as a second language.

ASA's Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms is a vital reference tool that belongs on every aviation bookshelf.

*Important note from the publisher:

While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context--so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
