Has anyone heard this term?

["GO AROUND"]

I was asked the other day if I had any FLAS operations time. I have never heard of it and was wondering if someone else had?

Thanks in advance

 

[say again]

Never heard of it. Who asked you, and in what context?

That is what I got as well when I Googled it, didn't see how that applied to aviation at all.

Should have asked the guy who asked you. Sounds like a "FLETCH" situation to me.

I think they were asking if you had any G Whiz experience.

A typo?

Perhaps the question was about "Flag" operations, as opposed to Domestic and Supplemental.

That's wierd; I always Feel Like A Stud when I'm sitting at home imagining a Gulfstream pilot walking up the stairs while his bag is packed for a week long trip.

Suffice to say from the response here that NOBODY has FLAS time, don't worry about it.
