Data Base Explorer abbreviations

[leomicen]

my friends:
I would like to inform the meaning of the abbreviations in the Data Base Explorer as an example: P4, P3, PT, PS, PN, PM, LK, CN, PM ETC as a couple that I may have some information. There are over 50 abbreviations that you can not know what it is and the manual is silent.
thank you very much.

In the aircraft table CO = company/owner/operator

Alan - what's the difference between CO and AC, then?

Rod

[Runway 31]

Sorry Rod, we use CO in the updater, I presumed they were the same but having looked in d/b explorer after you asked and  having not noted AC in your list, obviously not. Havent a clue what it is for.

BTW good compilation

Ah well, thanks anyway, Alan.

It's interesting to note that the Airports Table is the only table with the headers in lowercase. All the other tables have their headers in UPPERCASE?
