Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel and to another video which is all about the cryptic world of aviation abbreviations.
Let’s get started
ADF – The Automatic Direction Finder, a radio navigation device. Which works great with an NDB
ADIRS – The Air Data Inertial Reference System, processes and provides for example data concerning speed, angle of attack and altitude as well as inertial references like position and attitude.
AFS – The Auto Flight System, the core system when it comes to autonomous flying. It includes for example the subsystem everyone knows as the autopilot.
AH or AI The Artificial Horizon or Attitude Indicator
ALT – Stands for Altimeter and it displays the Altitude. They share this abbreviation.
A/THR – The Auto Throttle. Once activated, it adjusts the thrust or throttles autonomously.
B/A – Is the Bank Angle around the longitudinal axis.
CDI – The Course Deviation Indicator. It is used to determine your lateral position relative to a course to or from a VOR for example.
CDU – The Control and Display Unit. The pilot’s interface for making inputs into the aircraft computers.
CKPT – short for Cockpit
DG – The Directional Gyro or better known as the heading indicator.
ECAM – That is Airbus’ Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring. The two center displays.
EFIS – The generic term for the Electronic Flight Instruments System which make up the modern glass cockpits.
EGT – The Exhaust Gas Temperature
EICAS – The Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System, which information is displayed on the center screens of a Boeing, comparable to the ECAM on Airbus models.
ENG – short for Engine
FD – Stands for Flight Director the little graphical aid in front of the artificial horizon.
FMC The Flight Management Computer is a system based on a data base that allows the programming of routes and is part of the…
FMS – The Flight Management System, which contains many subsystems like the FMC and other navigation systems. It displays its data via the EFIS.
GPS – Is of course short for the famous Global Positioning System
GPWS – The Ground Proximity Warning System.
GS – Is your Ground Speed
HDG – Is short for Heading.
HUD – The HeadUpDisplay which can be found in a Boeing 787 Dreamliner for example.
IAS – Is your Indicated Airspeed which you can always find on the left side of your basic T.
LNAV – Stands for Lateral Navigation.
MCDU – The MultiPurpose Control and Display Unit, which again is an interface unit to make inputs into the FMS. It consists of an LCD Screen and a Keyboard.
N1 – The LowPressure Spool Speed
N2 The HighPressure Spool Speed
NAV – Short for Navigation
ND – The Navigation Display.
OBS – The Omni Bearing Selector, which is the turning knob to set the course line on the CDI.
PFD The Primary Flight Display.
QNH – Represent the altimeter setting in which the pressure reference is set according to MSL, the mean sea level.
RMI – The Radio Magnetic Indicator is a radio compass used for navigation towards NDBs. It is included in the ADF.
SPD – Is short for Speed.
STD – Stands for Standard, another altimeter setting, which is used above specific transition altitudes where altitudes become flight levels.
TAS – Is your True Airspeed.
THR – Thrust and Throttle both share this abbreviation.
TOGA – The Take Off / Go Around button is mounted onto the thrust levers and automatically applies take off thrust or full power when pressed prior to take off or to perform a go around.
VHF – Is short for Very High Frequency. The spectrum of shortrange radio frequencies.
VNAV – Stands for Vertical Navigation.
V/S – Is your Vertical Speed, also called climb or descent rate followed by
VSI – The Vertical Speed Indicator
WXR – The Weather Radar which graphical information is mostly displayed on the ND.
