Tried a few technical words and it translated them well. No guarantees

Or try http://www.standardcirrus.org/ and look at the top right of the

Its worked well for a Brit flying with a German club in East Belgium.

I have found that even up to date specialised dictionaries or glossaries
fall over as the Germans (and also the Flemish) tend to create much longer
convoluted words from shorter ones to explain ideas and concepts.

However most of the club members can speak 3 or 4 languages so if you are
stuck then feel free to e-mail me and I will ask for an accurate
translation.

This idiomatic use caught me out the other day: 'fette Bärte'
