Safety Reasons?!? ... Never believe it, you might sit in it!
LX AVIATION GLOSSARY
Aviation = Luxair
Luxair = Safety
Safety = LX DAC (that means Direction de l'Aviation Civile)
DAC = Very Important People (because they are the safety)
EXECPTION = A fact that confirms an existing Rule. I.E.
Rule: LX DAC Airworthiness Certification is safe and always reliable. - Exceptions that already confirmed this rule: Sometimes two engines quit on Swearingen Metro after acft becomes airborne but pilot has great skills as a glider pilot - or - sometimes stupid pax puts hands in flight in turning prop because cabin window would not do it to destination - or - ooops, prop, gearbox and cowling decide to land at the outer marker while pilots are wondering what the hell this thing flies that funny again...
AD = terminology in american english and representing a red placard in the Fokker F50 cockpit saying: "AD/LX000001-effective nov 2002: Please do not shift into reverse gear again before this vehicle comes to a complete stop"
n/c related to a SB = SB non compris (that's french, in english it reads: equipment not concerned) Note: also the effect stays so far the same (no action to be taken), the english n/c refers directly to the equipment (by type or S/N) while the LX n/c refers to the airworthiness representative's opinion, his mood and to the complexety of the content of the related SB which is often really hard to understand.
rare = LX DAC ADs: there is only one since the Wright brothers
incident = acft wrecked, pax a little messed up and upset
accident = national catastrophe where nobody knows how this could happen but probably the pilots did all wrong again.
support = effort taken by LX DAC in order to restart worldwide acft industry. If all Airlines could adopt the same movement to wreck ratio, acft industrie could boom again.
s.o.b. = Sun Of a Butcher. It is not at all what you might have thought again, but stands here for persons in high ranks who really know how you can get big things really fast into many little pieces ...too bad that they don't tell us! -professional's secret.
Press = people that are not always allowed to write the truth because there is the advertising department.
outlaw = Duke (that's me)
CICERO:
