Flyer,

Ok...you all got me. I've been reading several posts and a very frequent
acronym is being toss about quite liberally that I have never heard before.
It is "AMU" and "AMU's". It is usually used when speaking about money in
some way. What the heck is this? Atomic Mass Unit, American Monetary Unit,
Aircraft Maintenance Unit...what?

Aviation Monetary Unit. It makes it easier to talk about the costs involved
an Aviation. 9.3 AMUs seems easier to swallow than $9,300 ;-)

I don't think it matters what the underlying currency is (USD, Pounds, Euros,
etc.) as the same divide by 1000 is used in all cases.


Isn't there a website to look up such information. I found one, but it had
no idea either.
