Acronym

Hello

my company is switching from Jepp flight plan to the LIDO flight plan.
I've observed that in the LIDO plan, near the fuel figures, there is an acronym:BRFZFW.
Can someone tell me what it stands for?

thanks

Every CFP format is different, no matter who provides it. Each customer can develop their own format and content requirements. I have personally seen 18 different LIDO customer versions of a CFP.

As for what BRFZFW means you will need to ask your management team.

I have a recent LIDO Flight Plan in front of me as I type, and, putting together the plain language statements on our plans, believe this to be -

Brakes Release Fuel (at) Zero Fuel Weight.

Is the acronym followed by adjustments for Fuel required with variations in ZFW?

A stab in the dark, stand by for a more knowledgable reply.

Regards,

Old Smokey

the point being-these acronyms are getting out of control!!!! ha!

Now,after talking with nav department, I've found what BRFZFW stands for:
BRieFingZeroFuelWeight.

Aconyms in the FCOM, Acronyms in the maintenace logs, Acronyms in documents, Acronyms at the workplace, Acronyms at home, Acronyms on the roads, Acronyms in magazines, Acronyms everywhere. If you want look a little smart and others stupid, use acronyms. Never mind if nobody understands.
