ASA Celebrates 80 Years!
Eighty years ago, ASA began providing the accurate, reliable, and trusted aviation training resources it has become known for today. Originally started by Creighton Merrill in 1940, the company's primary goal quickly evolved into training post-war military pilots. In 1960, the company broadened its production and development efforts with additional pilot supplies and textbooks.

Throughout the company's expansion, the ASA product line has remained a staple for aviators pursuing flight. The  ASA FAR/AIM  has been in publication since 1945, and the  ASA Test Preps  have been in production for more than 60 years.
Over the last 80 years, ASA has added hundreds of training products including textbooks, ebooks, software, apps for smartphones and tablets, online courses, and supplies for ground school, flight planning and aircraft maintenance. ASA supports aviators operating the smallest to the largest aircraft in all segments of the industry – including students, instructors, civilian and military aviators, airlines, universities, maintenance and repair shops, air traffic controllers, and remote pilots and drone operators.
ASA is the leading publisher of aviation books and the largest producer of pilot supplies in the USA. The company's products are supported with aviation expertise, integrity, superior quality, and the best customer service in the industry.
The ASA team would like to thank its customers and industry partners for an amazing eighty years. This year, join ASA in celebrating this milestone.
