ASA Debuts 4th Edition of “Introduction to the National Airspace System”

eBook Now Available

Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. (ASA) announced that the fourth edition of its popular Introduction to the National Airspace System is available for purchase.

Pedantically compiled from multiple regulatory and supplemental source materials and concisely edited into a cohesive, all-in-one account of a complex, critically-important topic, ASA’s Introduction to the National Airspace System is the definitive reference for individuals seeking correlative understanding of the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS).

A must-read for novice pilots, the book examines subject-matter typical of Private Pilot ground school courses from a layman’s perspective. What’s more, Introduction to the National Airspace System includes information germane to major terminal airports and air transport operations often omitted in instrument ground courses. The tome extrapolates data relevant to students preparing for careers in Air Traffic Control (ATC), aircraft dispatch, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), airport planning, and airport management.

Introduction to the National Airspace System is available in eBook format only at asa2fly.com.

Founded in 1940 as Merrell Aviation Ground School for the express purpose of training World War II military pilots returning from active duty to adapt their flying skills to the needs of early civilian airlines, the company known today as Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. (ASA) has had numerous and surprising incarnations.

In 1969, the goal of franchising the popular Merrell Ground School under the name Aviation Seminars of America—or ASA—compelled the company to change its name to Northwest School of Aviation.

In 1976, the appellation Aviation Supplies and Academics replaced Aviation Seminars of America as the name to which the ASA acronym alluded. The company’s product line broadened from plotters, regulatory publications, and training manuals to include cassette-tape courses, new books, and increasingly modern training materials. Incorporation followed in 1977, as did a principal mission shift from retail to publishing and manufacturing.

In 1984, the sale of the Aviation Training and Research, Inc. ground school and The Aviator’s Store retail enterprise allowed ASA to ply the entirety of its resources and efforts to becoming a major supplier of pilot supplies and educational material in the United States. In 1985, the company undertook a series of relocations that ultimately landed it in western Washington State.
