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.

This fifth edition takes into account the current IFR environment, equipment and technologies, and includes chapters dedicated to:
light airplane operation in the middle high–altitudes beginning at 18,000 feet
the relationship between systems — including autopilots — and instrument flying
using all resources and technologies to file flight plans, obtain and interpret weather information, and prepare flight plans for the best preflight readiness
managing stress
IFR flight in and around ice, thunderstorms, and at night
