""This could very well be one of the most well-used aviation books a pilot would own."" - David Schneider, corporate pilot and college aviation instructor. ""Wow, what a tremendous amount of useful information."" - Terry Michmerhuizen, former instructor, School of Aviation Sciences, Western Michigan University. Written by a pilot, for pilots, the ""Pilot's Pocket Decoder"" gives aviators quick access to definitions of terms used for navigation, fuel, engines, meteorology, aircraft electronics, aircraft types, aviation safety, and more.
