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":172783075464,"handle":"certificates-record-folders-and-record-pads","title":"Certificates, Record Folders, and Record Pads","updated_at":"2026-07-03T11:50:41-04:00","body_html":"\u003ch2\u003ePilot Certificates, Record Folders, and Training Record Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePilot certificates and record folders help flight schools, instructors, student pilots, and certificated pilots document training progress, lesson completion, and aviation milestones in an organized format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection includes aviation certificates, student pilot record folders, flight training record pads, and related documentation supplies used for instruction, achievement recognition, and pilot training administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFlight Training Records for Students, Instructors, and Schools\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether tracking progress through a flight training syllabus, documenting lesson activity, or recognizing a completed achievement, the right aviation record materials help keep pilot training organized.

New four-color design helps keep certificates and ratings separate.
ASA’s Instrument Rating and Commercial Pilot Student Flight Record complies with Commercial Airman Certification Standards for Airplane (FAA-S-ACS-7) as well as the Instrument Airman Certification Standards for Airplane (FAA-S-ACS-8). These handy folders help certified flight instructors organize and document student progress towards their Instrument Rating, and Commercial Pilot Airplane curriculums, or a combined Instrument/Commercial course. Each folder serves as a permanent training record for the student and satisfies both Part 61 and 141 requirements—including ground lessons, written exams, flight maneuvers, and flight checks. Student Flight Records make it easy to record accomplishments for each lesson, student performance, flight hours, instructor notes and endorsements, aircraft used, stage checks, and ground school completion dates and more.
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.
