Portuguese term

ALF PILAV

Portuguese to English Other Military / Defense Força Aérea
In an academic transcript from the Portuguese Air Force Academy, the beginning is naming the graduated student, and before his name is written "ALF PILAV" followed by a six-digit number with a dash and a letter, ex: ALV PILAV 000000-X Name.

How can I give an equivalent of ALV PILAV?

Flight Ensign/Second Lieutenant

It stands for "Alferes Piloto Aviador" (OF-1 NATO rank reference). I'd go with "Second Lieutenant", personally.
