All specific to the aviation industry, the terms have been gathered from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), the Pilot/Controller Glossary, and glossaries from government handbooks and manuals. Also, many definitions not found in any government publications are included.

This complete, handy dictionary app is the definitive reference source for the entire aviation industry — including administrators, pilots, aviation maintenance technicians, drone operators, colleges and universities, air traffic controllers, manufacturers, engineers, government agencies, airlines, and corporate flight departments, as well as newcomers to the industry, and those who speak English as a second language.

Ratings and reviews

The application is not working properly. Search results are not displayed. It seems that they are transparent. They are completely invisible, but search results are opened by clicking on an empty white background.

Doesn't work. The app only shows the cover. The index doesn't show and nothing you search shows. The app is broke. It used to work but no longer.

Doesn't work on Andriod and customer service is horrible. The app doesn't work on Andriod and their director of aviation training basically told me they don't care and refuse to offer refunds. DONT BUY IT!
