The codes listed in below message in first column are typically ICAO codes
(usually 4 characters). E.g. for Airbus the may look like
A332 for A330-200
A346 for A340-600
etc.

Or others:
AT72 for ATR 72
A124 for AN-124
CRJ7 for CRJ-700

The codes the thread was started are IATA codes which have typically 3
characters, e.g.
763 for B-767-300
343 for A340-300

Airlines typically use the IATA codes in their schedules, while ATC (at
least in Europr) is using the ICAO codes. The same is applicable for
airport codes, e.g.

IATA ICAO Name
YYZ CYYZ Toronto
ORD KORD Chicago O'hare
FRA EDDF Frankfurt
FCO LIRF Rome/Fiumicino

Amen Jim, another one for the Tarver chronicles.

I am an engineer, and I worked for Boeing for 8 years, primarily on
the AIMS Display System for the 777.

Airline equipment codes on every ticket I have ever purchased always
read 73x, 74x, 75x, 76x, 77x where x is the first digit of the dash
number.

Tarver, once again you are talking out of your ass. Below is the
official listing of equipment codes used by the FAA for flight plan

Sorry. Gotta jump in here. I work in the airline industry and we use
744,
733, etc regularly. Have never heard anyone, not even people at
Boeing,
drop the first 7. Not saying it isn't done, just not in this sector
of
the
industry.

Shawn, welcome to Tarverland. :-)

Your assertion was that it's a "673" because you always drop the
leading 7. I can't find 673 anywhere in the list.

I expect those would be apropriate contractions for your
correspondence
with
FAA, but here in the real world, the first 7 is dropped. Note
carefully
that you have been corrected by an engineer, an air traffic
controller
and
pilots. If you want to use an insider secret code, don't expect
anyone
to
know what you are gibbering about.
