Happened to run across this in an AOPA daily email Q&A section. Since about 1995 I've always used "LNC 2" as my type designator when ATC asks and they've never fussed. Anyone on the list know more about this? Excerpted from today's AOPA ePilot. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Question: I want to file a flight plan for a flight in my homebuilt experimental aircraft. What type designator do I use? Answer: The FAA's Air Traffic Controller's Handbook (7110.65N) outlines the various aircraft make/model designators. Appendix C lists designators for experimental or homebuilt aircraft as HXA, HXB, or HXC, for aircraft with a cruise speed of 100 knots or less, 100 through 200 knots, or more than 200 knots, respectively. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The url for the ATC Pub: http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/atc/ , click on "Appendices", then on "Appendix 3". Looks downright recent. Cheers, Dan Schaefer LNC 2 (or maybe HXB)???? -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam.
