Great dictionary, 2008-02-29
This dictionary has everything you need in it. Im in A&P School and I use it every day. And other students borrow it on a regulay basis. It keeps me from running to the computer every time I need to understand something.

Worthwhile for a mechanic, 2007-05-28
This was a required book for my A&P program. We haven't used it a ton but it has definitely come in handy from time to time. Some of the definitions are circular -- two definitions each referring to the other -- but for the most part they are clear and concise, quite helpful.

My A&P Instructor ..., 2005-12-20
My A&P instructor commonly touts this dictionary and highly recommends it. I haven't purchased one yet, but he is certainly more qualified then I am to recommend it.

A pilot's comments, 1999-12-13
Although this dictionary is big, there are a significant number of terms I was unable to find that are important to instrument/commercial pilots - visual descent point (VDP), for example.

Seems to be more engineering/maintenance oriented because those types of terms are exhaustively covered.
