I was always taught that A meant Airframe and covered everything from configuration to limits. i.e. gear and flap position, what manoeuvres the aircraft was certified for, limits such as G and limiting speeds and how much altitude was needed to recover. And for big pistons the first L is for LOCATION I.E. AREA so whoever taught that didn't know what he was talking about.
