What's the call sign used on the radio for a Lancair 320/360 airplane: Is
it experimental xyz or lancair xyz ?<
By FARs you are required to identify yourself as an "Experimental". I've
never heard of anybody complain when using "Lancair xxx". I suppose you
could use "Experimental Lancair xxx" and have all the bases covered.
I use the call sign "Experimental 71JF" on the initail call and
"Experimental 1JF" on all subsequent calls. I believe this is technically
correct and in compliance with the written FAR/AIM. I frequently get the
question, "What type aircraft are you?" This happens even when I file
VFR/IFR with the LC2 aircraft designator for my Lancair 360.
Personally, I think there is a problem with the regulations. The
controllers would like to know what the capabilities of the aircraft are
and the "experimental" leader as required by FAR tells them nothing useful
to assist in providing the services you require. Jim Frantz
