Which Aviation Dictionary?

[Jinkster]

Hi all,

Just been looking through the aviation catalogues.

Can anyone recommend a Dictionary of Aviation Terms?

I have been looking at:

1) Dictionary of Aviation Terms by Dale Crane (ASA) = £14.95
2) Aircraft Technical Dictionary by Jeppessen = £10.95

Any opinions??

Many thanks,

Jinkster

Maybe not as good as the others, but you may as well start with it.

I've used Dale Crane's one for years. Helped me through 2 ATPL's.

Hello,

Like reddo i also use Dale Crane's Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms and i have to admit it was money well spent.

Dale Crane dictionary is looking favourite.

I am on the brink of ordering it, is the dictionary more for pilots or engineers or both?

Thanks for the replies.

Hi Jinks,

I find it applicable to both pilots and engineers which is good.
