I'm assembling a dictionary of helicopter related TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms...eg VTC, IFR, WAC...although happy to include acronym's of all numbers...eg "notam") and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions...post 'em here!

Writing in acronyms (WIA) seems to confuse rather than enlighten me
(CRTEM). I keep having to page back (PB) in order to remember what the
acronym (A) stands for (SF).


Please avoid WIA so that you don't CRTEM unless you are deliberately
trying to CRTEM so that I won't find out what the ASF even if I PB.
