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":"2024-10-05T17:30:03-04:00","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":262096912520,"handle":"michigan-helicopters-student-resources","updated_at":"2024-10-01T12:40:23-04:00","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"}}]
