ok you should always base it on speech context.
it’s an an when the next letter starts with vowel when pronounced, e.g. an SAP (es-ay-pee); an EU policy (ee-yu)
it’s an a when it starts with consonant when pronounced, e.g. a UN general secretary (yu-en); a European Union mission (yu-ro-pee-an).
so. never base it on written form. you did well :)

Update:
‘historical’ is an exception, it’s preceded by ‘an’ because much to my surprise, the h remains silent.
