Flight Crew Abbriviations

[REF]

I recently flew on SAS (Scandanavian) and the flight deck crew were FC and FCM. What do they mean?

Thanks

[Mr Angry from Purley]

Flight Captain, them i'm guessing

[REF]

Thats what I thought but the 'FCM' got me, wasn't sure what the 'M' stood for?? any ideas??

[wiggy]

In what context were these intials used?

[A Very Civil Pilot]

'Flight Captain' and 'Flight Captain's Mate'.

Might it not be an abbreviation for a Scandie term?

[wiggy]

Yes, but I'm still trying to work out where the OP saw or heard these initials..doesn't sound like the sort of thing that's said on the PA, as in:

"Good afternoon this is FC Bloggs, with me on the flightdeck is FCM Biggles".......

Can you tell us more REF, then we might be able to help?

[DBate]

Flight Crew (as in flight crew in general)

and

Flight Crew Member (as in 'member' of a specific flight crew)

maybe?

Or

Flight Crew Manual (as in our airline)

[jetset lady]

Or how about Flight Crew (FO) and Flight CoMmander?

[REF]

It was with reference to the flight deck crew, pilot and co-pilot.

"It was with reference to the flight deck crew, pilot and co-pilot"

Yes, even the flight crew here have worked that out!!!

But without a context we are all guessing - Where did you hear or see the mystery abbreviations "FC" and "FCM".. Public address announcement, Crew Badge, Customs Declaration?

(edited to add: It might be worth asking the same question on the Nordic Forum...maybe it's a Nordic Abbreviation)

[REF]

Slight confusion there - apologies!

It was on the crew manifest.

OK, in that context as Debate said FC will be Flight Crew. No idea why one would have an additional 'M'.
