Key JC terms and abbreviations

I don't think any of us would have any problem just deleting any replies that discuss stickying it, or that do not have any sort of phrase or abbreviation definition.

But maybe that's just me.
 
I think this thread is a great idea because I always find myself wondering WTH a NOTAM is, and now I don't have to feel like a idiot and ask:). Is this going to be turned into a stickie? because I for one could sure use it!:)
 
I once heard a 777 captain refer to ETOPS as "extended over water operations". But then found that it has nothing to do with water, just how far the aircraft can fly between suitable landing airports. i.e.-desert or polar regions. I was about to try to correct the previous post before looking it up on wikipedia!
 
Rumot- A dear member mis-spelled "rumor" one day and we all harassed him relentlessly about it. Now if you see someone saying "Here's the latest rumot!" They mean "rumor".
 
ETOPS - Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim :sarcasm:

Good Idea.

A few off the top of my head:

AHRS: Attitude and Heading Reference System
DEC: Digital Engine Control
EEC: Electronic Engine Control
LED: Light Emitting Diode, or Leading Edge Devices
INS: Inertial Navigation System
NAT: North Atlantic Track
CMC: Central Maintenance Computer
GPWS: Ground Proximity Warning System
A/I: Anti-Ice
HSV: High Stage Valve (usually associated with Bleed Air systems)
ATS: Air Turbine Starter

I just read this in the "hired by eagle" member announcement thread.

"Im doing it through flight safety in Vero Beach. Its the 3 week course. Includes 12 hour of Seminole time 6 hours PNF and 6 hours PF. Also 20 hours in the EMB-145 sim. 10 hours PNF and 10 hours PF."

What is PNF and PF?
 
PF- Pilot Flying

PNF- Pilot Non Flying

In a 2 person crew, on each leg one pilot is the PF and the other is the PNF.
 
Here's more. THESE are essential to your understanding and growth here at JC:

ILE = I like eggs
OFS = Out-Friggin'-Standing
IKIKIAKIWID=I kid, I kid, I'm a kidder, it's what I do.
IMHO = In my humble opinion
INNSHO = In my not so humble opinion
JM$0.02SIW = Just my $0.02, spend it wisely
ILTTBRWAWBB = it's like trying to break rock with a Wiffle Ball Bat
BOLKUP = Best of luck, keep us posted

That ought to help!!

BOLKUP!!

Speaking of PF, PNF...the newly supported term for PNF is PM.

PM: Pilot Monitoring, supports an active flight crew environment instead of Pilot Non-Flying - which suggest a pilot doing nothing.

"IDK MY BFF JILL"

Decode that one please.
Click to expand...

that's from a popular cell phone commercial. It stands for, "I don't know, my best friend forever, Jill." The basic premise of the commercial was a mom asking a daughter who she was always texting so often, and because the daughter was always texting, she replies back verbally using all of that short-hand that you use on a cell phone, like:

OMG (Oh MY GOD)
INBD (It's no big deal)
TSNF (That's SOOO not fair!)

What about 'aroo?' I figured out the meaning... but where does it come from?
