5N is one prefix for Nigeria......


One prefix for Nigeria? According to FAA Handbook 7340.1 it's the only one.

Check the database on landings.com and they show VR as another ICAO
recognized prefix for Nigeria. It may be that the VR's are being
phased out or converted to 5N's over time though.

Every time I try to view the www.landings.com web site, Somebody wants me to
down load the evird.acgi file, about 5 times. I have checked this file and
the nearest I can tell it is an Apple file. My Windows XP-Pro does not like
this
file and will not go any further. I do have proper virus protection, fire
wall and Google 2.0 pop up running. I can view some of the page through
Goggle's cache but the next move causes this file "evird" to start the down
loading process. Is this a cookie installer, any ideas?. I am trying to find
out the status of a dear
old friend of mine, N9965B

Thanks for any help

Pat,

You can search directly from the FAA site:

http://162.58.35.241/acdatabase/acmain.htm

BTW, your old friend is in the coldest spot in the lower 48!

FAA Handbook 7340.1 shows VP, VQ, and VR to be used by UK colonies and
protectorates. While Nigeria is a former British colony, it has been
indepndent since 1960. One would think 43 years to be sufficient time to
phase them out.
