German term

b. V.

German to English Bus/Financial Aerospace / Aviation / Space
Sorry that I have had to put this in the "other" field, but I'm working with no context. Does anyone happen to know what the b.V. below stands for?

Luftsicherungsbeauftragter b. V.
Stellvertretung im Luftfrachtsicherheitswesen b. V.

These are just bullet points in a PPT presentation, so any ideas before I have to ask the customer are very welcome. Thank you.

Could these be job offers? Typo for n.V. ("nach Vereinbarung")?
"Commencement of duties on agreement/negotiable"?

*n* is right next to *b* on a German keyboard...

Category changed I've just edited the category accordingly :-)
TransHorn (asker) Jun 13, 2013:
That's a very good point re categories, sorry. I was in such a rush that I must have scrolled right past "Aviation"! Can I change the category at this point or is that now the job of a moderator?
I'll pass your suggestion along to my colleagues, but it sounds very plausible. Thank you for the lightning-fast response and I'll update soon, hopefully!
Steffen Walter Jun 13, 2013:
Bekannter Versender? See, for example,

Aviation Judging by the job titles, this belongs in the category of "Aviation", rather than in "Other" (in my opinion).

known shipper

... might be an English alternative if my assumption ("bekannter Versender") is correct.

Alison's comment includes "known consignor" as an EU alternative to "known shipper".
