    I have been trying unsuccessfully to get a complete listing of Acronyms used in NA. I have already done a search here, it is over 400 days old and not responded to (other than Ted Brewster's fine article), but I would like a complete listing of the ones such as are used in Stability and Trim reports, such as W.S., XCF GMY, GML etc etc if there is such a thing please.
    Yes I have done a Google search, over 20 pages of next to nothing resulted.

    You might contact SNAME and see if they have a standardized list - probably under the heading of Nomenclature

    Wynand N, thanks, unfortunately I am currently working in China, and it is one of the sites that "I am not allowed to see" from here, I will follow it up when I get back home.
    I think this is more than half of my problem, so much is blocked.
