| Subject: | aircraft type designator |
Good morning guys, For those Allegro flyers that leave the pattern and go
places, you may have dealt with this if you requested "flight following". On
two occasions now, upon talking to ATC, they have asked for the "aircraft type
designator" as they are uncertain just what an Allegro is? we have said that it
is one of the new LSA. The last ATC said, "I'll just put it in as an
experimental". It falls into the category of (L1P), which means, land, 1 engine,
piston, but as of yet has not been assigned a designator. If your aircraft has
not yet been assigned a "type designator" you are supposed to say, "ZZZZ". Doug
and Betty Hemstead, tha distributor for Allegros in the US, has submitted the
information and forms to be assigned a type designator but this will be in
revue for at least 6 weeks. You can check out the web site for "ICAO", if you
want to look up more info of what I am talking about. Some of the new LSA have
been assigned "type designators" such as Tecnam, Sting, Kappa, Skyboy,
Parrot,, Mermaid, etc. So in the meantime, if you ask for "flight following "
or
file a flight plan, you can file as "ZZZZ".
fly safe
