Once upon a time I used the pneumonic TIM'S ABCS to set up for an
approach. I have forgotten what everything stands for (I believe it
begins Tune, Identify, Markers...).

Does anyone remember the rest? And do you know what book it's from?


I think this is a John & Martha King mnemonic (pneumonic is a form of
the plague :-). I have it on one of those lapboard cheat sheets that
they send out for free with with their tapes.

Tune (nav/com)
Identify (nav)
Markers (test/on)
Setting (altimeter)

Align (heading indicator)
Brief (approach)
Computer (speeds)
