PLA or DZ Explanation: Can't find any usage of AMD in French, but PLA (Parachute Landing Area) and DZ (Drop Zone) are both British Parachute Association-approved terms (see link). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2015-02-27 08:52:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Edit: Can't find usage of AMD in *English*.
