Acronym Dalta and Fisc
 

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:}

DALTA

Descent, Approach, Landing, Taxi (Route), Apron

FISC

Frequencies, Idents, Standby Instruments (set), Courses (Inbound QDM

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

Thanks for the reply Fireflybob. Very helpful:ok:
