Corrected entry: Dean Martin requests a "PAR" approach to Lincoln. The controller confirms the requested "Precision Radar Approach" whose acronym is "PRA" not "PAR."
Correction: While the acronym is PAR since the term is technically "Precision Approach Radar", the term "precision radar approach" is commonly used, even in FAA documents I found in a Google search to describe the same thing, so having the controller use that term would be appropriate and understood by all the parties. Basically, one is the system (PAR), and one is the action (radar approach).
