Acronyms

[Gwadwerc]

Hi folks. Trying to get my head into the GA game after a long absence. Could anyone fill in the blanks for me on the acronyms AAVIATES (applies to required mx inspections) and MARVELOUS VFR (applies to required reports to ATC [IFR])? Many thanks!

A - Annual
V - VOR
I - 100 hr
A - Altimeter
T - Transponder
E - ELT

That's the one I know. There may be more to it.
Obviously some are only for IFR.

The 2nd A is for AD's.

I always though the 2nd 'A' was for Alt, Pitot, Static. AD's are updated during the annual, no use in being redundant

anyways these may help

T - Tach
O - Oil Pressure Guage
M - Manifold Pressure Guage
A - Airspeed Indicator
T - Temp Guage for each engine
O - Oil Temp Guage for each engine
F - Fuel Guage
L - Landing Gear Position Indicator
A - Altimeter
M - Magnetic Compas
E - ELT
S - Seat Belts

VFR Night: FLAPS
F - Fuses
L - Landing Light
A - Anti-Collision Light
P - Position Lights
S - Source of Electricity

How about we learn what these acronyms mean and how to apply them rather than just rote learning?

Sorry, I just gave a particularly bad stage check to someone who memorized the acronyms and had nothing to back them up and I need to vent.

I asked a CFI of mine for an acronumy for VFR equipment, he said 91.205
