 | Re: "Say aircraft type" Hey Ya'll, Anywho I just like hear "Piper Cherokee", "Traumahawk" or "Cessna 172" etc. As a controller at a larger airport, the difference between a 172, 182, Cherokee, Dakota, and a Cheetah is pretty nill. Basically it lets me know that you're slow and unless you are good (and there are alot out there that are) its hard to work ya in a final. (By good I mean, land with no flaps and shoot the ILS firewalled  Rock on!)Anywho regarding the Piper Arrows (P28R) ive also seen PARO. (And ive learned its also legal and will work!). Anywho if ya call me up with something I dont know, then I'll usually just make up some 4 letter a/c type like "BTOW" for Banner-Tow, or "HELO" for any Helicopter, "ICU" or "SPY" for a police aircraft etc. This is what alot of us do just to get it started in the STARS for local VFR flight following. If its something long range, then I'll usually ask for the full type. Keep the blue side up and green between!!! ATCT
