5.0 out of 5 stars The MOST important book for every pilot's flight case!, June 4, 1998
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great referance tool!, April 24, 2001
By Brad P. Mazzie (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great source for aviation trivia stumpers, May 3, 1999
By A Customer
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.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars I needed this book 25 years ago when I got my pilots license
Finally a small reference guide with thousands of aviation abbreviations.

Now I can learn and impress my "expert" friends with my new knowledge. Read more
