ICAO Code

Post by DaveL »

Hi,

In FSInn, my J3 shows up as: T/J3/G

What is the "T" and "G" designate?



Thanks,
Dave

Pure guess, and meant to be funny :) T=Tail Dragger and G=Gear (as in with gear instead of float or Ski) :lol: :lol: :lol:

/T means "No DME / Transponder no Mode C"
/G means "Advanced RNAV with transponder and Mode C / Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)"

However, as written in FSInn the former is nonsensical, the latter is definitely not applicable to a J3! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I know you could fit a dash mount GPS but this doesn't cover the requirement of "Advanced RNAV with transponder and Mode C".

It should read J3/X

/X means "No DME / No Transponder"

In other words, it is a VFR-only aircraft, and your dash mounted GPS doesn't officially exist. ;) Whether having it in the cockpit could land you in court is another thread entirely. :?

Best regards,
Robin.

Thanks, I will change my configuration.

Is there a website that lists all of the descriptions?

Thanks for the response. Duh, I should have thought of Wikipedia. It has everything!
