Love this resource
Thank you so much for this resource! I was wondering if it’s possible to cite the reference for the entries? At least the ones that come directly from the FAA.
It works but has a major issue
Why am I not able to see what I am typing in the search bar as I type the word I am looking for? It’s just blank the entire time as the search narrows down I’m surprised this has not been fixed
Glosario insuficiente
Errores de la app Términos no acordes con ICAO SOFTWARE con errores, no aparecen las letras al escribir
Please fix the bug
Fix the bug bro and brunet
Indispensable
As an A&P student, this is an indispensable tool that is extremely handy to have on your phone. What else would you expect from the ASA? The interface is adequate, might use a bit of updating for aesthetics, but not necessary. The info contained is highly valuable for anywhere in the Aviation industry, or if you’re just a plane lover! It’s nice to have this on your phone without having to buy the book. Great job guys/gals!
First thing I checked wasn’t there...
First thing I check: ECB. An Airbus acronym for electronic control box. Very common. But not in the app. Maybe the app only covers Boeing, heck I don’t know. Need to cover all manufacturers. Disappointing. I work for the largest airline in the world with largest Airbus fleet, too bad the app is lacking.
