Equipment Code Reference

[arb65912]

Sunday night, I was instructed to include / and a letter code after the aircraft ICAO when filling IFR flight plan.

As an example I was told that G stands for GPS, A if I remember correctly for VOR /DME receiver.

Where can I find more information on above subject?

Is only one letter allowed after slash or more, for example BE20/AG ?

Thank you

Andrzej

Just one letter for the equipment suffix. Here is a table that might help you out:

Thank you very much, Andrew. saved the chart, will use it from now on.

The equipment code is to describe the most accurate navigation system you are capable of using.

Hi! Let me ask you a question. On each session, the controller ask me the type of equipment I have. I know the suffix (in my case letter "A") and I know that I have to put it near the aircraft ident( B350), but ....where? In the flight plan (don't let me to write another letter near the Aircraft Ident)?, or in the log in information previously to connect via VSPro?

Thanks!

Use the flight plan to specify the equipment suffix, just like the real world.

The connect dialogue box is just for the straight ICAO code. It is used by the software to determine which aircraft to display to depict your plane to other pilots. The equipment suffix is not relevant there.

The flight plan is seen by controllers. That's where the equipment suffix becomes relevant.

Could you give an example please? Like, I'm filing in the Flight Plan window KSNA V23 OCN KCRQ, where do I put BE60 /G?

Thanks,

Igor, which pilot client are you using, X-Plane or FSX?

[Sabre]

It's FSX.

Thanks,
Igor.
