In addition, aviation is governed by an extremely complex set of federal regulations.?Each discipline and regulation has its own unique vocabulary, and it is difficult to find a single reference source that includes terms specific to the aviation application of these fields. To this end, ASAs editors have searched aviation periodicals, aviation-related textbooks, service manuals, manufacturers’ literature, engineering reports, military training manuals, and especially all of the publications produced by the FAA for applicable terms.?This third edition of ASA’s Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms is more than a lexicon; it explains as well as defines more than 7,400 terms and includes some 485 illustrations and four appendices.?The names of the Federal Aviation Regulations have been changed from FARs to parts of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and in this dictionary, each reference to a federal regulation is identified by the prefix 14 CFR.
