Aero-Terms!
Designed to be a daily reminder of the terms, names, acronyms
and explanations of the unique language that populates the aviation
world, ANN Contributor Aleta "I'm Not Making An Asterisk Of Myself"
Vinas will be selecting... and defining unique aeronautical terms
each day from all tiers of the aviation world...
Aerospace, sport aviation, fixed wing, helo, you name it... it's
all fair game and with a full year's selection already coming
together, we can assure you that Aero-Terms should serve as a quick
but intriguing reminder of the terms you may use every day or an
introduction to an aspects of the Aero-World you may not yet be
familiar with.
Cool, no?
Suggestions for future
Aero-Terms are ALWAYS welcome, as are additions or
discussion of the explanations given for each Aero-Term.
ADCUS
Advise Customs message in the remarks section of the returning
to the US flight plan consisting of the word ADCUS followed by the
pilot's name and the number of persons on board (POB) with a
notation of the number of non-U.S. citizens. This notification may
be provided through FAA; however, this entails the relaying of
information and is not as timely or reliable as direct
communication. It is recommended that, if possible, pilots attempt
to communicate directly with CBP (Customs and Border Protection) by
telephone or other means to insure that an officer will be
available at the time requested. It is the ultimate responsibility
of the pilot to insure CBP is properly notified, and the failure to
do so may subject the pilot to penalty action. No cussing if you
didn’t ADCUS.
