I regularly file flight plans (both VFR and IFR) with my 'coupe. This is how I found out the type designator information. The ERCO vs M10 designation is more likely because the tower is keeping track of their differing groups in LAHSO. An ERCO is required to have 3000 feet (sea level), while the M10 only needs 2500 feet. Oh, and thanks to Roger Anderson for reminding me about the Contractions publication... You can find those at: (ERCO) 415/F-1/A-2: http://www.faa.gov/ATPUBS/CNT/5-2-E.htm (M10) M-10: http://www.faa.gov/ATPUBS/CNT/5-2-M.htm - Jason -----Original Message----- From: craig hinton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 12:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Alon identifier ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- I just talked to Princeton FSS. Asked what goes in block 3: "Aircraft type/special equipment" They could not find Ercoupe, Aircoupe. or,Engineering Research Corp. They did say that the Mooney M-10 would be M-10/U in block 3 if transpndr equiped. They said there have been many changes and lot of new people so things are confused. Some years ago they told me an Ercoupe was" FO2/U". I guess you could not go wrong using "Ercoupe/U in block 3 since it looks like no one much cares. For tower comm my home base tower wants me to use "Mooney Cadet". Ercoupes and Alons use "Ercoupe" for tower Comm. This makes sense since if a pilot is told he is "number 2 behind the Ercoupe he expects to see a twin tail airplane ahead. ============================================================================ == To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
