Another couple that will get your attention...
"Sink Rate", "Sink Rate". and "Terrain"', "Terrain".
I got to hear those alot when I tried to fly the 777 and 747-400 at
UA's training facility in Denver. (I had a friend who worked on the computer
software than ran the sim's. She would bring us in at least twice a month on the weekends to fly, that was pre 9/11. She doesn't work there anymore and I think I heard they opened it up to friends of employees again)
