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:

B17 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
B29 Boeing B-29 Superfortress
B52 Boeing BJ-52 Stratofortress

B720 Boeing 720
B721 Boeing 727-100 (C-22)

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.

Amen Jim, another one for the Tarver chronicles.

You mean the Knoyle idiot detector, or the Miller sub-idiot detector.

I'd like to know just how incompetent you are, Wilkinson.

Common usage is to suppress the first "7".

Way more competent than you Tarver, but that is self evident.

Common usage to drop the first 7? Common with whom? Not the FAA, or
the airlines...

If you buy into either of the archive trolls you are an idiot.

What did you do on the little display you worked?

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
