Hamburt Spinkleman

The point is a small one. I got tired of writing out the various phrases used to identify a problem that was getting much attention. In creating (?) the acronym, UAS, I found a way to simplify and shorten the nomenclature. If it was used before, fine, but I believe the industry was calling the problem different names, and spelling them out, as if it was this ill-defined, and rare anomaly. I thought it deserved its own acronym. That BEA started to use it also meant I may have been correct in codifying it. It also meant that BEA might have been reading PPRuNe, which means PPRuNe has some standing in the discussion/investigation. So Hamburt, it means whatever it means to you, nothing more. At all.
