Distribution of the 2012-13 edition of the Aircraft Electronics Association’s Pilot’s Guide to Avionics continues Oct. 30-Nov. 1 in Orlando, Fla., during the 65th annual National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Meeting & Convention.

This year marks the special 10th anniversary edition of the Pilot’s Guide to Avionics, a consumer’s directory published by the AEA containing buyer’s guides, educational articles and timely information about the avionics industry, its products and its people.
The publication helps pilots make better buying decisions and locate more than 1,300 AEA member companies, which includes government-certified repair stations around the world specializing in maintenance, repair and installation of avionics and electronic systems in general aviation aircraft, AEA officials note.
