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":"\/\/pilotshq.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/ASA_Logo.jpg?v=1672277315"}},{"id":189145677960,"handle":"coupon-eligible","title":"Coupon Eligible","updated_at":"2024-12-12T19:32:10-05:00","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":172783796360,"handle":"flight-computers-plotters","title":"Flight Computers \u0026 Plotters","updated_at":"2024-12-12T18:03:09-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-03-04T16:24:11-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":null,"disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Flight Computers \u0026 Plotters"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":262096912520,"handle":"michigan-helicopters-student-resources","updated_at":"2024-12-11T11:35:07-05:00","published_at":"2021-10-07T14:48:06-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Michigan Helicopters","body_html":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/9391\/8600\/files\/MichiganHelicoptersLogo_240x240.jpg?v=1633632708\" alt=\"Michigan Helicopter Student Resource Page\" style=\"margin-right: 20px; float: left;\" width=\"240x240\" height=\"240x240\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eStudent Pilot Resource Page \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNOTE: Please ensure you are selecting the following items:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pilotshq.com\/collections\/michigan-helicopters-student-resources\/products\/lightspeed-zulu-3-anr-aviation-headset?variant=32435581780104\" title=\"Lightspeed - Zulu 3 ANR Aviation Headset with U-174 Helicopter Plug\"\u003eLightspeed Zulu3 PN 4069 with U-174 Plug\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pilotshq.com\/collections\/michigan-helicopters-student-resources\/products\/vfr-sectional-charts?variant=32521340518536\" title=\"Detroit VFR Sectional Chart\"\u003eSDET VFR Sectional\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pilotshq.com\/collections\/michigan-helicopters-student-resources\/products\/low-altitude-charts?variant=32521344712840\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Low Enroute Chart Detroit L28\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eLow Enroute Chart L27\/28\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2021-10-07T14:48:05-04:00","alt":null,"width":600,"height":601,"src":"\/\/pilotshq.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/MichiganHelicoptersLogo.jpg?v=1633632486"}},{"id":285856989320,"handle":"new-additions","title":"New Additions","updated_at":"2024-12-12T19:32:10-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-05-13T22:18:55-04:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"1"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Surplus Manuals"},{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"global"}]
The CX-3 Flight Computer makes flight planning simple by taking confusion out of the equation. Fast, versatile and easy to use, the CX-3 delivers accurate results quickly and efficiently. It can be used on all FAA and Canadian pilot, mechanic, and dispatcher knowledge exams. Whether used for flight planning, ground school, or knowlledge testing, the menu organization reflects the order in which a flight is normally planned and executed, resulting in a natural flow from one function to the next with a minimum of keystrokes
Multiple aviation functions can be performed on the CX-3 flight computer including those related to time, speed, distance, heading, wind, fuel, altitude, cloud base, standard atmosphere, glide, climb & descent, weight & balance, as well as a holding pattern function to help determine entry method and holding details. A calculator, clock, timer and stopwatch are also built in along with mutliple settings for lighting, backlighting, themes, scrolling speed, time zones and more.
The sleek design, and ergonomic fit and finish of the CX-3 make for easy transport. The protective cover comes off the front and snaps onto the back of the computer. A no-slip-strip prevents the CX-3 from sliding around on smooth desk surfaces. A Theme feature provides a convenient way to switch from Standard view to Night or Daylight views. The backlighting feature controls the brightness or intensity of the screen, and the buttons on the keypad will light up in Dusk and Night modes for use in darker environments. A Favorite feature provides quick access to your most frequently used function and store the Aircraft Profile will let you store numbers specific to your aircraft.
