Hey Breakscrew! Good effort.

With A390's help we might be there with !!!!WEL! I am still not sure however about the S. Showers is a good guess but could not these have been included in the W for Weather. I have a niggling feeling that the S might have been for Severe downdraughts or something else severe?

I just thought of the one that we used to use to convert IAS to TAS - "Eye Eye See Peter Rabbit Charlie Elephant Doing Time" who ever came up with thath one I do not know but it seems to have stuck once I prised it out of the back of my memory bank! It stands for:

Eye - I - IAS+
Eye - I - IEC (Instrument Error Correction) =
See - C - CAS (Calibrated) +
P - PEC (Pressure Error Correction)=
R - RAS (Rectified)+
C - CEC (Compressibility)=
E - EAS (Equivalent)+
D - DEC (Density)=
T - TAS

Anybody want to have a go at these?
