Dale Crane’s ultimate reference book now contains more than 11,000 accurate, aviation-specific terms and definitions. This 5th edition has been updated, with terms gathered from 14 CFR Part 1 and other regulations, the Pilot/Controller Glossary, glossaries from government handbooks and manuals, as well as definitions not found in government publications reflecting today’s operations and practices. 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 complete dictionary is an essential reference book for anyone involved with aviation—administrators, pilots, A&Ps, 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. |
