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":261984419976,"handle":"breast-cancer-awareness-month-products","updated_at":"2025-09-01T07:05:07-04:00","published_at":"2021-09-21T10:47:32-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Breast Cancer Awareness Month Products","body_html":"Discounted products for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.","image":{"created_at":"2021-09-21T15:36:46-04:00","alt":null,"width":1024,"height":683,"src":"\/\/www.pilotshq.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/AdobeStock_332356715.jpg?v=1632253007"}},{"id":189145677960,"handle":"coupon-eligible","title":"Coupon Eligible","updated_at":"2025-09-07T14:11:01-04:00","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":172784451720,"handle":"log-books","title":"Log Books","updated_at":"2025-09-05T07:06:01-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-03-04T16:24:22-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":null,"disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Log Books"}],"published_scope":"web"},{"id":285856989320,"handle":"new-additions","title":"New Additions","updated_at":"2025-09-07T13:19:30-04:00","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 STANDARD® Pilot Log is now available in PINK! When choosing a logbook, it’s essential to ensure it will meet the pilot's needs and the type of training and flying they plan to do. This bold and brightly colored logbook has the same trusted page and column layout as our famous black logbook (ASA-SP-30) it just looks different on the outside.
Recording columns include aircraft make and model, identification, points of departure and arrival, aircraft category, type of piloting time, conditions of the flight, instrument approaches, landings, and duration of the flight. All instructor endorsements are included on the back pages making it easy for instructors to issue the proper endorsement for the student.
THE STANDARD® pilot logbooks have supported the aviation industry for over 60 years and comply with FAA recordkeeping requirements. With so many options, a logbook is right for you. Versatile, easy-to-use, and flexible enough to fit any pilot’s needs, student or ATP.
The Frekote 770-NC synthetic mold release I ordered has a 6-month shelf life from the factory. The can I received on 8/25 was set to expire on 8/31 according to the date printed on the bottom of the can. I called and sent a photo of the can bottom and they said it should have been taken off the shelf a month earlier, so they will send me a good can when new stock arrives without sending the out of date can back.
I appreciate the fast delivery and them taking care of the issue, but it means you could be buying product that has only one month of shelf life remaining. Call before you buy and have them confirm the expiration date of their stock and if it is less than works for you, work out delivery from fresh stock or negotiate a discount.
