4 out of 5 stars Private to Instrument   March 14, 2007
This is a very good reference and refresher for the novice flyer.


5 out of 5 stars Great referance tool!   April 25, 2001

This was a great referance tool for most of the abbreviations used in aviation... only dissapointment was that there were no airport codes in the book!


5 out of 5 stars A great source for aviation trivia stumpers   May 4, 1999

This book has helped me win many beers on several overnights by stumping the "Most Experienced" pilots online. Keep 'em coming!! I'm looking forward to future editions.


5 out of 5 stars I needed this book 25 years ago when I got my pilots license   August 29, 1998

Finally a small reference guide with thousands of aviation abbreviations.

Now I can learn and impress my "expert" friends with my new knowledge. The terms PAPI and CAVU for example, were easily deciphered by me recently when someone asked what the exact meanings were. Also, the weather section is full of abreviations that I now can understand pronto. I would recommend this book for any person in aviation.


5 out of 5 stars The MOST important book for every pilot's flight case!   June 5, 1998
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book is comprehensive, yet small enough to fit perfectly in your flight kit or case. The first chapter explains the meanings of thousands of initials and abbreviations. The second chapter makes weather briefings easy to read. Chapter 4-7 includes additional codes and symbol (transponder codes, military designations, slang, and memory joggers). This is a one of a kind book which every pilot should carry in their flight case!
