Aircraft section

[ajmezz]

Anyone else notice that the aircraft identification section is gone? Anybody know of any reasoning as to why its no longer in the pdf version? Working at a vfr tower without any fancy equipment and also getting weird aircraft all the time, it has helped in figuring out what type someone is.

It was deprecated a while back, then removed from the .65. It's changed to correlate with ICAO. So, like how hxa changed to zzzz. It's replaced by 7360.1

Ahh ok. Thanks for the info.

So, I'm at a non fed contract tower and we don't always get the most updated info. Are the wake turb category changes (A-F instead of S/S+/L/H/S) used across the board or is that only for select facilities (major hubs) like I heard about before?

Only reclass facilities. SDF, MEM, IAH are the ones I can think of off the top of my head
