An aircraft type designator is a two-, three- or four-character alphanumeric code designating every aircraft type (and some sub-types) that may appear in flight planning. These codes are defined by both the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The registration often denotes the aircraft type and maker. Some examples: HB-Axx two-engined aircraft from 5.7 to 15 tons, Aircraft over 15 tons due to shortage of Jxx. HB-Bxx balloons; HB-Cxx single-engined Cessnas under 5.7 tons; HB-Dxx and HB-Kxx other single-engined aircraft under 5.7 tons; HB-Fxx Swiss-produced aircraft like PC-6 and PC-12

The process is analogous to 'after-market' parts for automobiles, except that the United States aircraft parts production market remains tightly regulated by the FAA.
