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":"2026-05-20T19:53:53-04:00","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"},{"id":172786811016,"handle":"training-software","title":"Training Software","updated_at":"2026-05-18T15:25:58-04:00","body_html":"\u003ch2\u003eAviation Training Software for Pilot Education and Skill Development\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop aviation training software at Pilots HQ for digital tools used in pilot education, ground school, and flight training.

With its multiple new features and broader access than ever before, Prepware School is the most functional and flexible knowledge test study solution available for flight schools, training centers, and multi-user environments. All 13 FAA pilot and maintenance Knowledge Exam question databases and Computer Testing Supplement images are included and no software installation is required.
Prepware School allows instructors to create custom quizzes using comprehensive search features, pop quizzes, or exams by subject. Quizzes can be of any length and on any specific subject or combination of subjects. Instructors can add their own custom questions and incorporate them into their quizzes. They can also print exams for quick grading or issue the tests online for automatic grading and score-keeping.
Prepware School accounts are valid for 2 years beginning on the date of activation and comes with a single administrator account and unlimited instructor accounts. Using "cloud" technology, students can gain access to your school through their own Prepware Online account (ASA-TWO-SCL-S, $39.95). Once their account is established, they can request to "tie into" your school and “follow” a specific Instructor in order to access the assigned quizzes.
Prepware School is the study and test tool that helps your students excel on all FAA Knowledge Exams. More than a “question and answer” recounting of test questions, Prepware School combines years of experience with expertise in working with the tests to prepare the most comprehensive and accurate test preparation materials available in the industry. No other test prep software provides better coverage of subject matter or explanations than ASA's Prepware School. It is the essential tool that combines cloud technology with the accurate and professional instructional material you expect from ASA.
Prepware School prepares both pilots and aviation maintenance technicians for the following FAA Knowledge Exams:

I work on old vintage motorcycles, most of which have a fair amount of oil and grease on the engine and transmission parts. These gloves are so much better than the run of the mill cheapo's that can be bought about the same price. Yes, these will tear like any nitrile glove, but these are very, very durable and do a very nice job of standing up to gas, oils, and brake cleaner. I've yet to find any better than these for the price. No complaints whatsoever.
I took the chance of ordering expired Loctite 330. It was jelled up pretty good and generally unusable. It was my fault for trying it and never called the company to complain as I took the chance and that is on me. Order the good stuff.
Had used aviation Camguard for years. Added as well to each quart of oil added to my Lyc 540 SIA5 aerostar engines. Went past TBO with excellent compressions. Oil analysis always normal.
Also add to automobiles but too early to see a benefit.
