763 Cruising Speed.

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
filing:

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.
