Although this dictionary is big, there are a significant number of terms I was unable to find that are important to instrument/commercial pilots - visual descent point (VDP), for example.

Seems to be more engineering/maintenance oriented because those types of terms are exhaustively covered.

I am an entry-level engineer in an aerospace company. I found that this dictionary is useful for understanding some of the terms that are used.

This dictionary has everything you need in it. Im in A&P School and I use it every day. And other students borrow it on a regulay basis. It keeps me from running to the computer every time I need to understand something.

This was a required book for my A&P program. We haven't used it a ton but it has definitely come in handy from time to time. Some of the definitions are circular -- two definitions each referring to the other -- but for the most part they are clear and concise, quite helpful.

I found out that i needed this book less than a week before the class started. They were so helpful and understanding. It wasn't my fault or their's but they were willing to do everything they could to help. Thank you for everything!

Nice dictionary with almost all the terms one can need in the field! The definition are complete and fully understendable!

This helped me very much! I'm in college right now for my Aviation Maintenance Associates Degree and my professor uses hundreds of acronyms during his lectures! This book makes it A LOT easier to understand him! Thank you!!!

Thier is a tremendous amount of information in this volume and for that I give it four stars. I am an aviation mechanic who has looked to it as a reference more than once and not found the aviation word or term I was looking for. For that I cannot give it five stars. Still a valuable reference.

This is a great reference, whether you are new to aviation or an "oldtimer". Easy to read and easy to lookup.

My A&P instructor commonly touts this dictionary and highly recommends it. I haven't purchased one yet, but he is certainly more qualified then I am to recommend it.
