Flag of the ICAO. 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).
RECAT Phase II was a continuation of the RECAT program that focused on a larger variety of aircraft (123 ICAO type designators that make up more than 99% of US air traffic movements based on 32 US airports), as opposed to the 61 aircraft comprising 85% of operations from 5 US and 3 European airports that were used in RECAT Phase I.

Civil flights in classes A, C and D airspace, or IFR flights in class E airspace. [6] US: External ARTCC subset. (Block of discrete codes except that xx00 is used as a non-discrete code after all discrete codes are assigned.) [3] 3100, 3200, 3300, 3400, 3500, 3600, 3700 US: External ARTCC subsets.
ICAO Doc 9830 defines A-SMGCS as follows: Advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS). A system providing routing, guidance and surveillance for the control of aircraft and vehicles in order to maintain the declared surface movement rate under all weather conditions within the aerodrome visibility operational level (AVOL) while maintaining the required level of safety.
The Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) – Pavement Classification Number (PCN) method is a standardized international airport pavement rating system promulgated by the ICAO in 1981. The method has been the official ICAO pavement rating system for pavements intended for aircraft of apron (ramp) mass greater than 5700 kg from 1981 to 2020. [1]
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) classifies aircraft by their indicated airspeed at runway threshold (V at, [1]: II-5-1-3 also known as approach speed or V REF). The categories are as follows: [1]: II-5-1-3 Category A: less than 169 km/h (91 kt) indicated airspeed (IAS)
On the ICAO flight plan form (e.g. FAA Form 7233-4 based on the format specified by ICAO Doc 4444) one or more alphabetic codes are placed in box 10. Multiple letters are used to describe individual radio navigational capabilities and a single letter is used to designate the transponder.
It received the requisite 26th ratification on March 5, 1947, and went into effect on April 4, 1947, the same date that ICAO came into being. In October of the same year, ICAO became a specialized agency of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The convention has since been revised eight times (in 1959, 1963, 1969, 1975, 1980 ...
