Every facility has their own procedures for tagging up the VFR targets.
We use C for Cessna and P for Piper too but we also use CK for
Cherokee TC for twin Cessna, CQ for Conquest, CT for Citation, NJ for
Navajo, NV for Navion. We have about 25 different ones for VFR use.


We use up to four alphanumeric characters, the only proviso being the first
one must be a letter. Examples; a Cessna 172 would be C172, a Piper
Comanche would be a PA24, a Beech Bonanza would be a BE35, a Stinson Reliant
would be a RELI. See the pattern?
