Or, as the Wikipedia Simplified Technical English Wikipedia mentions, use Plain English or Plain Language as non-aerospace alternatives:
> The US government's Plain English lacks the strict vocabulary restrictions of the aerospace standard, but represents an attempt at a more general writing standard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_English
> Modern corporations and academic organizations hire technical writers already trained to follow a simplified form of English that the layman reader can easily understand, known as plain language (PL).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_language
And so we've looped back around OP’s “plain English” phrasing.
