The company’s primary goal soon became the training of post-war military pilots returning from active duty to work in the early civilian airlines. Plotters, regulations and training manuals were the first products. In 1960, the company broadened its production and development efforts with additional pilot supplies and books added to the ground school training line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1969, the company became Northwest School of Aviation under a new owner, Roy Beech. The company’s goal was the franchise of the popular Merrell Ground School under the name “Aviation Seminars of America,” or ASA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn November, 1976, Joe Cucchiari purchased the company. “Aviation Supplies and Academics” replaced Aviation Seminars of America as the name to go with the ASA acronym, and the company again broadened its product line to add cassette courses and new books and training materials. The company was incorporated in 1977. In 1981, Joe Finelli joined the organization, bringing 20 years of experience in printing and publishing with him. Publishing and manufacturing has since become the principal company mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Embedded Video Player\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Emb_a2DvFtE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-03-11T14:53:09-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics Inc."},{"column":"vendor","relation":"equals","condition":"Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics In"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-07-20T11:57:22-04:00","alt":"Shop for Aviation Supplies \u0026 Academics Inc. products.","width":500,"height":500,"src":"\/\/www.pilotshq.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/ASA_Logo.jpg?v=1672277315"}},{"id":189145677960,"handle":"coupon-eligible","title":"Coupon Eligible","updated_at":"2026-07-05T08:00:24-04:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-12-14T21:11:58-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"vendor","relation":"not_equals","condition":"Lightspeed Aviation"}],"published_scope":"global"}]
ASA's new AirClassics™ Headset Head Pad brings headset comfort to a higher level. This soft, padded, microfiber fleece cover is a great way to increase comfort and bring new life to an old headset.
The simple-fit pad uses convenient hook-and-loop closure to allow for easy installation and removal as well as access to headset adjustments. The wide, soft footprint avoids trapping heat, and reduces hot spots. We've also included a standard headset pad just in case the current one needs replacement.
The Headset Head Pad fits ASA headsets as well as most other models. It is designed to fit spring steel headbands up to 5/8" wide, but may be modified to fit slightly larger headbands. Installation instructions are included.
Pilots HQ had the best price on the pump needed to replace the one on my plane that was failing. It actually shipped ahead of schedule, arrived quickly to my IA who was ale to install it and get me back in the air in a timely manner. Great service and price.
I stopped in looking for some very specific AN bolts. The ladies up front went way out of their way to help me find the bolts I needed. Got my annual done that weekend thanks to Pilot HQ.
