Dictionary Of Aviation
English is the universal language of communication used in
civil aviation. This dictionary provides the basic vocabulary of terms used by
pilots, cabin staff, maintenance crews, ground staff and travellers worldwide.
The terms are those used in everyday work on aircraft, and cover parts of the
aircraft, manipulating the aircraft on the ground and in the air, instructions
to passengers, conversations with air traffic control, weather, emergencies,
etc.

Unlike conventional aeronautical dictionaries, the
Dictionary of Aviation defines vocabulary often found in conjunction with the
purely technical terms as well as the technical terms themselves. Simple
explanations are presented in simple language, making the dictionary ideal for
those working towards a private or commercial pilot’s licence, as well as
trainee maintenance engineers and more experienced professionals. We also give
examples to show how the words are used in context.
We have selected quotations from various specialised
magazines to show the words and phrases as they are used in real-life
situations. The supplements at the back give further information in the form of
tables.
We are particularly grateful to the staff at Qatar
Aeronautical College for their help in the production of the first edition of
this dictionary. Thanks are also due to Stephen Copeland and Gavin Rowden for
specialist advice and helpful suggestions during the preparation of this new
edition.
The information contained in this dictionary is not to be
regarded as a substitute for formal training in a given discipline.
