"a compact, useful volume..." (Flyer Magazine )
Product Description
This is a pilot's guide to 3000+ essential terms, acronyms, abbreviations, and symbols in a compact, easy-to-use, take-along format. "This could very well be one of the most well-used aviation books a pilot would own." - David Schneider, corporate pilot and college aviation instructor. "Wow, what a tremendous amount of useful information." - Terry Michmerhuizen, former instructor, School of Aviation Sciences, Western Michigan University. Written by a pilot, for pilots, the "Pilot's Pocket Decoder" gives aviators quick access to definitions of terms used for navigation, fuel, engines, meteorology, aircraft electronics, aircraft types, aviation safety, and more. All the terms are alphabetically arranged within 10 logical sections, from weather-related abbreviations to transponder and squawk codes, from slang to military designations, and contains definitions from across the global spectrum of aviation parlance.

Format:Paperback
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.
Format:Paperback
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.
Format:Paperback
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!
