The Seventh Edition of Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms contains more than 12,000 accurate, aviation-specific terms and definitions. Originally written by Dale Crane, this reference collects all of the terms in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, glossaries from FAA handbooks, advisory circulars, the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) and Pilot/Controller Glossary, as well as definitions not found in government publications to serve as the ultimate resource for aviation terminology and nomenclature.
This new edition accounts for the continuing evolution of aviation and aerospace industries, to include drones, commercial space, and urban mobility. New terms and definitions for weather products, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), human factors, and aerodynamics have been added, as well as terms pertinent to dispatchers and airline operations. Nearly 500 illustrations further define and aid visual recognition of the terms, and useful tables and lists are included in appendices. An ideal desktop reference for people working in all segments of the aviation and aerospace industry, especially those who speak English as a second language.
