Canonical glossary termSearch alias: fuel on board
Expanded explanation

FOB is a good example of phrase-to-abbreviation intent

FOB sits in flight-operations and planning contexts where people often search the full phrase rather than the abbreviation. That makes it useful as a demo term because the search can resolve “fuel on board” into a short canonical slug without ambiguity.

Why it matters

FOB shows how glossary pages can capture awareness traffic and still support higher-value operational learning pathways later, without turning every term page into a sales landing page.
