I have been silent for too damn long. What the the heck is BTW. Please list all acronyms. I know this is lame, but I seem to have a deficit in acronym 101.
FWIW = for what its worth
LOL = laugh out loud
LMAO = laugh my tushy off
FIST = .... I have no idea? Why would a Captain say "FIST ME!" ?
BAHA = Bank Angle... HEADING! Angle? Heading Angle. I don't remember?
LAVS = works on the 88 if you make it Lateral Mode, Altitudes, V/S, and Speed. But I think we're supposed to use MAAAAAP.
AVE FAME (Avenue of Fame) = During lost comm then when it comes to your heading fly the last Assigned, last Vector, last told to Expect, last Filed, and for altitude fly the highest of the last Assigned, MEA or told to expect. [My instructor taught me that one 15 years ago when I got my instrument, go Ralph!]
Silliest one of all but it works...8 for 84 = Eight items on the cruise check, 1-tune NAV, 2-bank angle, determine min speed, 3-check the N1 is between 76-84 (hence 84), 4-weather radar check, 5-CL power, 6-fuel (update and balance), 7-FMS update fuel and cost index and 8-make sure ACARS is working or pull out the engine log.
Sorry if any of those are wrong. I'm lazy tonight and not double checking my post.
