Aircraft Type

[DannyDot]

What is the correct "aircraft type" entry in a flight plan for a BC12-D Taylorcraft? Also, is this the same thing to tell Flight Watch for a Pirep.

Re: Aircraft Type

The official list of two- to four-character "aircraft type" contractions used by Flight Service and controllers is on a hard-to-find FAA website here:

http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/CNT/5-1.htm

Attached is a little article I just recently wrote up for my EAA Chapter 135 newsletter about the FAA contractions.
