What's an acronym that you know but most people on AT wouldn't know?

NRTS - not repairable to station?

lol... oh, where to begin... let's say once you begin talking to certain people it's very normal to use acronyms very few know about

other aviation ones off the top of my head--VOR, ADF, DME, NDB, ILS, LDA, SDF, MLS, RAIM, DH, MDA, NOTAM, TAF, CAVU, VASI, PAPI, ALS, REIL, CTAF

You think there are that many users here who don't play MS flight sim? You'd get to know almost all of the above fairly well.

(Adding to that list off the top of my head - TACAN, VFR, IFR)

TACAN - Tactical Aerospace Navigation
VFR - visual flight rule
IFR - Insrument Flight Rule


IADS - integrated air defense system
PARC - pacific alaskan range complex
FDIO - Flight data input output system

This is fun

I love working on PAR's! You'd be pretty shocked to see how sparse the indiciator is though, "left of course, above glideslope"

You fly civilian props?

I've got to have at least a hundred Bloomberg symbols in my head, but I don't bother recalling them out of the blue. That, and I'm so sick of the bloody things that i'd rather just forget them.
