TIM'S ABCS

Umm ... thanks for completely missing my point, and simultaneously proving it.


Well, if you learn and use the acronym, it remains helpful. Disuse of anything
renders it subject to atrophy and bit rot - in that sense acronyms and other
mnemonics are no different from anything else. I see your point, I just don't
agree with it, mostly.

Once upon a time I used the pneumonic TIM'S ABCS to set up for an
approach. I have forgotten what everything stands for (I believe it
begins Tune, Identify, Markers...).

Does anyone remember the rest? And do you know what book it's from?

I think this is a John & Martha King mnemonic (pneumonic is a form of
the plague :-). I have it on one of those lapboard cheat sheets that
they send out for free with with their tapes.

Tune (nav/com)
Identify (nav)
Markers (test/on)
Setting (altimeter)

Align (heading indicator)
Brief (approach)
Computer (speeds)
