Center: Say type aircraft... Me: Citabria 7GCBC, Center: Ahhhhh???
Ok so I requested flight-following because my route took me into pretty
high traffic areas (inside Class B and surrounding) I was on a Flight Plan and requested center to give me flight following, ok call made, radar contact established 10 miles NW of XXX. Then he asked me: say type aircraft, I said: Citabria 7GCBC, the controller seemed confused for a second, and just said in reply, allright we'll lookout for you. Other than that the flight went on perfectly and as planned. Is the type I am saying wrong? Should it be CH7A instead of Citabria 7GCBC? Help me out here guys... |

The best response would be CH7B, it's what would be needed for computer entry. |

Center: Say type aircraft... Me: Citabria 7GCBC, Center: Ahhhhh???
I was flying home from Hunstville, AL yesterday. Did this happen around
the NC/SC border? I think I heard the exchange. The controller clearly had no idea what type aircraft this was.

.com: So I should say CH7B and then my N number right? When ATC says, "Say aircraft type." Your response should be, "CH7B." You might want to consult the Aeronautical Information Manual http://www.faa.gov/ATpubs/AIM/ for information on correct radio procedure. After that, if you find you would like to research the subject further, I heartily recommend Mr. Gardner's book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...75731?v=glance |

Citabria would have been enough..
Actually he was asking for what type of Flight plan ID you use in the "aircraft type" section so he could load it in his computer. Answer up with that and he would have been happy.
