Aviation language can be confusing to newbies, so I decided to start this thread and you guys can add to it as you see fit:
STATIC. Could be either the static air system for your instruments or static RPM. Static RPM is the most the engine will turn while stationary.
LOP: Fuel-air mixture "Lean-of-peak"...the engine is leaned to peak temps with the EGT gauge and then leaned further...LOP.
ROP: The engine is leaned to peak EGT's, then enriched 50-70 deg...ROP.
WOT: Wide open throttle operation, as in take-off and in racing.
EFIS: The new "glass" screens for Electronic Flight Information Systems, instead of the old round (aka "Steam" gauges).
EIS: Engine Information System...detailed engine monitoring with all engine parameters.
AHARS: Attitude and Heading sensors for the EFIS.
RNAV: Usually an approach to an airport using the GPS, WITHOUT vertical guidance.
LPV approach: Precision Lateral and Vertical GPS guidance during an instrument approach.
Others?
