Reviews and Words of Praise
As a co-founder and creator of the first airport design CAD based program centered on FAA standards at Florida Tech, I am delighted that one of my former top mentees has created this excellent tutorial that creatively outlines and teaches the integration of CAD into the airport design process. Thierry is an exceptional airport planner and this book is a reflection of his experience which will assist current and future airport planners in understanding and being able to use the CAD platform to efficiently design various airside, terminal and landside airport components.

Thierry is an expert in airport planning and design. Along with an extensive background in AutoCAD, this guide showcases his ability to give detailed steps in the basics of aviation design and functions of the program. I highly recommend his expertise for those looking to pursue a career in aviation.
--Zheantezsa Guizar, Design Engineer, SPEC Services

I worked side by side with Thierry in his early days as an aviation planner and always appreciated his eagerness to learn. As his early mentor in the AutoCAD arena, I found him to be one of the best “students” I have ever worked with. When he asked me if I would provide an acknowledgment for this instructional guide I was honored.
Thierry has worked around the world with many extraordinary CAD users and has learned much along his journey. I hope that this guide will empower others to be able to take their ideas and quickly and easily put them on paper and to learn from the experiences that Thierry has accumulated and provided in this instructional work.
