Abbreviations


We like to abbreviate everything in aviation. Here are a few unofficial versions:

CRM Captain's Right, Mate.
EROPS Engines Run Or Passengers Swim.
ETOPS Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim.
IFR I Follow Roads.
LOST Lots of Strange Terrain. (Seen on an advertisement in Piccadily tube station in 2006.)
