Lacy,

I agree it is a good idea for people posting on the forum to write out what the acronym means, especially to help out out the new people in Aviation. However when I got involed with Aviation and hanging around pilots I found it useful to learn the acronyms and started using various resources to help.

Here is a good place to start:

It is my opinion that people in all of these groups use acronyms as if every one understand their terms.  I worked for the government all of my life, who is known for this type of BS, however, when they use it in any types of writings they spell it out in all of their published works at least once.  That is so anyone who reads it knows how it is used.  In these types of groups, you ignore the lai person, as if your way above the common people.  What in the world is wrong with open discussion and letting everyone "understand" your full meaning?  I am new to the LSA organization, and wish to learn more.  But am hampered by this type of conversation where I am slowed down by trying to figure out the words.  Come on people, you can do better than that.
 
You know we get upset at people who text on their phones all day long.  The do not know how to write a word in English............  are you heading down that road leading the next generation?
 
Just my person thought, take it or leave it, but I know there is others out there who feel the same way...........

Having to plow through 582 pages just to get a Sport Pilot license is way too much. I thought the appeal of getting a SP license was the training was much less than a PP. I read his equally massive Private Pilot Handbook and thought no wonder the drop out rate for PPs is nearly 70 % ( per AOPA ). While I like Rods writing style his books are a perfect example of less is ALOT more. The video courses I've seen from King are IMO a much easier and efficient way of learning than reading a bloated textbook.
