Abbreviations

The Abbreviations page is a searchable glossary (1,000+ entries) of the abbreviations used throughout the UKAFG site and products — aviation terms like A/G (Air to Ground) and AARA (Air to Air Refuelling Areas), unit and service names, and general radio/scanner terminology.

Columns

• Abbr — the abbreviation or short code.
• Description — what it stands for.

Using the Table

Use the Filter box to search for a specific abbreviation or keyword, click either column header to sort, and use the Show entries dropdown to control how many rows are shown per page. This is a good first stop if you come across an unfamiliar abbreviation anywhere else on the site or in the map’s overlays and popups.
