PJ2, Hamburt Spinkleman.

Thank you both for your input. The reason I suggest that "UAS" is a "new" acronym has to do not with aviating, but with marketing. At the time, in 2009, it occurred to me that "Unreliable" is not a term to be found on any documents emanating from the community, manufacturer, Line, Pilot's, etc. Not only does it conjure up "risk", it could be conflated to mean, erm...."Unreiiable". It could also have a negative effect in "product liability".

So Hamburt, I am curious if you have copies of these "checklists from years ago".

The reason I coined the term was its self-explanatory nature, and its 'honesty' in an industry that can at times be over obsessed with "marketing".

I meant it without malice, but was attracted to its inception merely because it was....descriptive.

Especially at low level, PJ2, would it not also be important to include "Point" after Pitch/Power? Heading after T/O could be construed as important as the first two, CFIT?
