Dale Crane’s ultimate reference book contains more than 12,000
accurate, aviation-specific terms and definitions, updating and
gathering all the terms in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
glossaries from FAA handbooks, advisory circulars and manuals, 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 useful tables and lists are included in appendices.
In an
industry of acronyms and technical language, this comprehensive
dictionary is an essential reference book for anyone involved with
aviation and/or space organizations—administrators, pilots, maintenance
technicians, 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.
The ASA
Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms, now in its Seventh Edition, is a vital
reference tool that belongs on every aviation bookshelf.
