The company’s primary goal soon became the training of post-war military pilots returning from active duty to work in the early civilian airlines. Plotters, regulations and training manuals were the first products. In 1960, the company broadened its production and development efforts with additional pilot supplies and books added to the ground school training line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1969, the company became Northwest School of Aviation under a new owner, Roy Beech. The company’s goal was the franchise of the popular Merrell Ground School under the name “Aviation Seminars of America,” or ASA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn November, 1976, Joe Cucchiari purchased the company. “Aviation Supplies and Academics” replaced Aviation Seminars of America as the name to go with the ASA acronym, and the company again broadened its product line to add cassette courses and new books and training materials. The company was incorporated in 1977. In 1981, Joe Finelli joined the organization, bringing 20 years of experience in printing and publishing with him. Publishing and manufacturing has since become the principal company mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Embedded Video Player\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Emb_a2DvFtE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-03-11T14:53:09-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics Inc."},{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics In"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-07-20T11:57:22-04:00","alt":"Shop for Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics Inc. products.","width":500,"height":500,"src":"\/\/www.pilotshq.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/ASA_Logo.jpg?v=1672277315"}},{"id":189145677960,"handle":"coupon-eligible","title":"Coupon Eligible","updated_at":"2026-06-09T09:28:35-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-12-14T21:11:58-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Lightspeed Aviation"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":172786843784,"handle":"training-videos-audio","title":"Training Videos \/ Audio","updated_at":"2026-06-09T06:30:31-04:00","body_html":"\u003ch2\u003eAviation Training Videos and Audio for Pilot Education\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAviation training videos and audio help student pilots, certificated pilots, instructors, and aviation enthusiasts study key flight concepts through visual and audio-based learning materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection includes pilot training videos, aviation DVDs, audio programs, ground school media, and instructional resources for supporting flight training, test preparation, and continued aviation learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePilot Ground School Media, Test Prep, and Flight Training Resources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are preparing for a certificate or rating, reviewing flight procedures, studying weather and navigation, or reinforcing ground school lessons, aviation training videos and audio can be useful supplements to books, instructor guidance, and hands-on flight experience.

This new edition also addresses an oil pressure sensor update, best types of oil to use, frequency of oil changes, tips on finding updated Rotax information, automobile gas and avgas options, and extended TBO (time before overhaul) information.
If you fly, operate, or work on a ROTAX 912 engine, this DVD is a must have to ensure proper maintenance and safe operation. Approximate running time 68 minutes, plus 28 minutes of extras.
As a private pilot, comms are always on my mind. I have a Marine Corps HUMVEE that requires hearing protection. This solves that challenge and allows conversation while on the move
Must have for anyone working in the aircraft engine business.
Over abundance of information provided in this book that is explained in easily understood terms with easily comprehended imaging. Well worth the money.
I absolutely love this product. I have used it for years, but I have to say the shipping took over 30 days. Not sure why but it did so I’m not that satisfied with that part but I love the product.
