Translation - Populist Aviatics

Maybe it is time for a translation of populist aviatics into our language:

Runway: means anywhere airside.

Landing Lights: means any lights on an aeroplane or even an airplane

Giant: means big enough to carry passengers

Dangerous: means any unusual situation

Overshoot: means run off the end of the runway

Air pocket: means turbulence

Victim: means an inconvenienced person (who might score a freebie)

Emergency: see Dangerous

Fire: means smoke

Engine fire: means torching

The Pilot: means the Captain

The Cabin: means the Cockpit

Counselling: means lawyers

...and so on. We will never beat them, so we had better learn the language.
