Right up until the time that you lose your first engine. Jim Which isn't to say high wings don't have their good points. It's just "off-airport usage" really isn't terribly relevant to the vast majority of pilots. 'specially when you don't have a second engine. :-) Matt |

Why would they do that? I thought it was the bloody FRENCH who had the type designators changed, via ICAO. Right after they got finished butchering our WX format. Apparently, they don't appreciate the difference between an MD80 and an MD88 (both are coded MD80), but they do care about the difference between the A320 and A321... MD88 has its own type designator according to http://www.faa.gov/atpubs/ATC/Appendices/atcapda.html |

Citation drivers won't let you make that mistake - they'll make darned sure you know it's a Citation. The same is true for everyone driving any Cessna larger than a Skylane. The only ones calling themselves "Cessna" are flying model numbers lower than 190. I once had an old timer flight instructor. One day he got to fly one of his ex-student's Citations, his first time in a jet. He had ball flying that jet and soon it was time to go back home. He called up the tower (a busy Class D) and called in "Cessna 12345 9 miles east, landing, information Charlie". A few minutes later the controller called back, her voice a few octaves higher and said, "Cessna 12345 are you a CITATON?" The controllers recognized his deep voice and were used to that voice flying around in the pistons. Guess you had to be there, but it was good for a chuckle for all after he landed. |

Somehow this has become a "thing" with ATC. All PA28's are Cherokees.
It is because someone got uptight about all the different Pipers that were PA28's (the ICAO Identifier), but yet named differently. You use the ICAO 4 letter ID (all aircraft have one, and only ONE), on your flight plan, BTW. But it seems that one ICAO identifier can encompass many different aircraft names. Thus the confusion. The Cherokee one seems to be the one ATC keys in on. Must be the one they use in their training or something. |
