COMMENT: Abbreviations can cause
confusion. They may range from those
which have a very specific meaning as
defined by an authoritative body, to
others which may come about
because of personal usage in notemaking,
etc. ICAO approved
abbreviations may differ from those
used in JARs. AC can mean
‘alternating current’ or ‘altocumulus’.
CPL is generally taken to mean
Commercial Pilot’s Licence but the
ICAO definition is Current Flight Plan.
Advances in technology have
significantly increased the number of
abbreviations with which pilots and
engineers must be familiar.
Abbreviations in this dictionary include
those with generally accepted
definitions and others with specific
ICAO definitions.
