Part 61 Licence abbreviations

Hello folks,

I just got my long-promised, slightly crumpled, 20-page (!) Part 61 version of my licence and I've come across some abbreviations that I neither understand, or are listed in the "List of Abbreviations". I wondered if anyone could translate?

Under "Flight Instructor Rating" I have "CLR SEA" - I know that SEA is single engine aeroplane, thanks to the list on page 19, but what the devil is "CLR"? Can't Land Right? Currently Leaning Rearward?

Also, does anyone know why our friends at CASA have to abbreviate everything - is it an ICAO requirement? It certainly can't be a lack of space as the abbreviation translations in the back still only take one line each!
