Flying with the Alphabet

12 If you re like most folks, you probably wondered many times throughout your early school 12 years When am I ever going to need to know this stuff? You know, stuff like algebra, trigonometry, calculus and if you were lucky advanced calc!!! Some of you may have even had those same thoughts long before high school when the teacher would lead the class in reciting the ABC s. But if you are a pilot you learned very early in your training why they are so important for just about everything and anything that has to do with flying has an abbreviation or acronym associated with it. So, aren t you glad you paid attention and learned your ABC s? Think about it, airspace designation is the best example. You ve got Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E. Oh, and let s not forget the all-important phonetic alphabet, you know A Alpha to Z Zulu. Here s one that trips up a lot of pilots: Q. By far, aviation has more shortcuts to identify stuff than anything else you can probably think of. Stuff like navigation, communication, weather, maneuvers, aircraft, airports, ratings, where you can fly and where you can t well, you know or should know all about such stuff by now. The real problem is trying to remember all of them. It s like trying to remember all the important dates in history. Unless you use them on a regular basis, it s easy to forget or confuse some of them. Here, try these for example, MB and mb or how about FA and FD. Do you know what these abbreviations mean? Did you ever? No well, look them up! Hey, let s have some fun. or frustration. Let s see how many of the 20 abbreviations or acronyms listed below you can identify. Simply match the number to the correct letter. And give yourself a pat on the back if you also know their meaning. Look for the answers on page _16_...NO PEEKING!!! Submitted by Dave Ruckle
