Acronym Dalta and Fisc

[flyasthesky]

Hello,

I'm currently looking over some MCC material and just noticing the various acronym's that get used throughout flight to help us pilot's cover all relevant briefs to complete a checklist.

I have come across RIBETS= Route, Instruments, Brief, Emergency, Taxi, SID. Which are done prior to engine start.

I've also come across DALTA for descent planning etc and FISC for the approach sector of flight. Only problem is I can't seem to find a clear explanation for the ones above.

I could hazard a guess at them but hopefully these might "ring a bell" with someone and could give a definitive view of what they actually stand for.

Hopefully this not a silly question

FISC

Then there is Airmanship too........ahem "TEM"
