IDENTIFYING CIVIL AIRCRAFT
HEARD FLYING IN THE VICINITY OF THE MARITIMES

CALL SIGNS, REGISTRATION MARKS AND IDENTIFICATION CODES

Bill's  Radio Site
 
Last updated January 24, 2017

This web article is intended for use as part of listening to civil aircraft flying over the Maritimes or landing or departing at our airports. 
It is also useful in conjunction with following aircraft on sites such as flightradar24, Planefinder and flightaware. 

Aircraft are identified on the radio, on the web and in timetables in a number of different ways.  

Type of Identification Examples
All of these are for the same British Airways flight.
Usage
International Registration Mark  
G-BTCR
Most light aircraft that by their nature are not in airline service or part of large fleets will identify with their registration marks.  Occasionally even large aircraft will use these, if they are on a delivery flight or in other unusual circumstances. 
ATC On-Air Call Sign Speedbird 56 Tango,   Aircraft in airline service and many corporate aircraft will identify on-air by a spoken call sign and flight number.   These are also used by military flights, which may be service-wide or specific to a squadron or other unit.  Usually the numerical component is the same as the flight number mentioned below, but in many cases, especially for European airlines, is different. 
IATA Public Flight Number BA563 Airline aircraft are identified by IATA code and flight number in schedules, departure boards, and sometimes in flight-following websites.
ICAO Flight Number BAW563 Airline aircraft and many corporate aircraft are identified in official written usage by ICAO codes and flight numbers.  These are also used in many cases on flight-following websites.  The numerical component may or may not be the same as the flight number as indicated to the public.
Aircraft Fleet Number 871 Airlines also have fleet numbers for their aircraft, which are not heard on air, but are painted on the aircraft.  They may be of some interest in observing aircraft on the ground.  These are irrelevant for our purposes and will not be discussed further on this page.

 

REGISTRATION MARKS
 ("INTERNATIONAL CALL SIGNS" OR "CALL LETTERS")

Americans may refer to these as 'tail numbers'.   Canadians might refer to these as the 'civil' or "civil registration".

All civil aircraft have registration marks.   In theory, in most cases, these are equivalent to the official radio call letters of the aircraft as a radio station, but even aircraft without radios will have these marks.   In today's world these registration marks are painted on all civil aircraft but are used in an obvious way only by non-airline aircraft.     The military equivalent of these registration marks are the serial numbers commonly seen painted on military aircraft.

Standard Type   (Five-Character Registration Marks)   [First two characters indicate country; then three letters for the individual aircraft]

In this pattern the registration marks system adheres to the International Telecommunications Union (UN) radio call sign allocation table that states that aircraft radio call letters consist of 5 characters, consisting of a two-character country identifier, followed by 3 letters.   The country identifier could be two letters, a number followed by a letter, or a letter followed by a number. 

Canada's currently-used two-character identifiers are CF, CG and CI.   CI is only used for ultralight aircraft.    You may be interested to know that the CH-xxx series was formerly in use as well, for hovercraft, but these are now identified differently. These are drawn from Canada's total allocation of two-character prefixes (CF, CG, CH, CI, CJ, CK, CY, CZ, VA, VB, VC, VD, VE, VF, VG, VO, VX, VY, XJ, XK, XL, XM, XN, XO).   Note that Canada does not have all the C prefixes.   For example CC is Chile and CM is Cuba.    The evolution of who got what is a whole other story, and a complicated one at that.    Note that some countries do have all the combinations that commence with a particular letter.  For example the United Kingdom has all the G's and all the M's and France has all the F's.

Registration marks are technically just the five characters in a row but in practice, they are usually shown as the two country characters, then a hyphen, then the three specific letters, such as YG-ABC.   For countries that have a complete letter series, so that in effect that single letter identifies the country, they are written this way:  G-ABCD or F-HWRX.   Out of all the countries that use the standard pattern, Canada is the only one without a full letter series that uses the second convention, so that Canadian registration marks look like this:  C-GMRD or C-FTCH.   How this came about I do not know but it does give the implication that C means Canada whereas in reality it is the CF/CG/CI that does that task.   Certainly a country like Chile uses marks such as CC-GHR, which is the approved way to do it.   Some vintage aircraft do retain the old and proper way of doing things, so you may see something like CF-TCH (but there cannot be both a CF-TCH and a C-FTCH, as they are actually the same thing.)

In Canadian usage, pilots refer to the full five letters on initial contact with a particular controller (and vice versa), then both commonly in subsequent conversation use only the final three letters.  For example:      First contact:    Charlie Golf Alpha Bravo Charlie...           Subsequently:   Alpha Bravo Charlie

American Type:

The USA formerly used aircraft markings of the 5-letter type but they appear to be unused since the 1930's.   All one can say now is that the US markings begin with N followed by at least two numbers, and then usually by various combinations of numbers and letters, which seem to add up to a total of three to seven characters in all.    Very often in modern times the final two characters are a pair of letters that relate to the owners corporate name.     An example for Western Pacific Airlines might be N232WP.  Americans refer to their registration marks as "N-numbers".   There are certain patterns that are reserved for US government use.  For example N23 would be only on a federal government aircraft.  

In on-air usage the first time an aircraft is in contact with another station the complete N-number is used, and normally prefixed by the type of aircraft.    In subsequent parts of the conversation, only the part that follows the N is spoken.    So an American aircraft approaching Halifax would on first contact with the tower identify like this:   Halifax Tower this is Cherokee November 434 Mike Tango (N434MT), but then would be referred to as 434 Mike Tango.

Russian Type:

The Russian pattern is a letter or two followed by numbers.   For Russia itself the first two characters are RA.  As you can see from this list, quite a few countries use this pattern, and of these there are several that begin their registration marks with letters that are not theirs according to the ITU table of call sign prefixes.  These have been marked with a double asterisk (**).   Note that all the former Soviet Union components (other than Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) use the system inherited from the unified country.

Other types (oddball types):

 

FLIGHT NUMBERS

This refers to the numerical designation of a flight but will always be preceded by a spoken or written prefix to identify the company. Scheduled passenger and cargo airliners are generally identified by a flight number.  This flight number is used in concert with the airline name or code or voice call sign to indicate the route and timing of a regular flight, regardless of the identity of the particular aircraft flying it at any particular time.    For example Westjet's flight from Halifax to Calgary, leaving every morning at around 7:30 is identified on air and practically everywhere else as Westjet 229 even though the actual aircraft used varies from day to day.   Behind the scenes the civil registration marks of the particular aircraft are still used on the flight plans, and you might hear the clearance controller asking the pilot for the "civil" which means the registration marking on the aircraft as described above.

Flight numbers are most closely associated with regularly recurring commercial flights, but any airline flight, even a one-off flight such as to move an aircraft from one place to another to replace another or other reason, will still have a flight number, even if it is only used that one time (but can be re-used for an entirely different flight some other day).   Flight numbers are also used by many corporate aircraft even if itinerant, and in some cases the same flight number is used for a single aircraft no matter where and when it is going.  An example is the Irving corporate jet which identifies as KC1 no matter where it is going, instead of using its official civil call letters painted on the side.   Military flights also use flight numbers similar to civil counterparts.

Flight numbers do have some variety in a few cases.   This always relates to another airline being involved.  For example all of the Jazz flights operating as Air Canada Express have two flight number variations.    Jazz aircraft will identify on the air as Jazz 861 or similar, but on timetables and departure boards used by the public that will appear as Air Canada 8861.   Most airlines do not vary the number however, so that for example Republic Airlines 3336 from Halifax to Philadelphia will appear as United 3336 with no change in the numerical part. 

A further variation in flight numbers occurs with code sharing.   Generally this will not be seen on FlightAware or planefinder but is seen in airline timetables and sometimes on departure boards.     If United and Westjet are code sharing on the Halifax to Calgary flight mentioned above it could be published additionally as United 7932 or similar (this is a fictional example) but it would never be used on-air.  Occasionally some of these do appear on FlightAware with the giveaway being that two flights with the same aircraft type leave at the same moment and are scheduled to reach the same destination at the same time.   This almost certainly means that there really is just one flight with one of the flights indicated being a sort of phantom, code-share designation for the real flight.

Occasionally with flights passing over the Maritimes you will hear spoken flight numbers that vary somewhat from what you wold see in a schedule or on the screen.   For example a British Airways flight that is identified in the schedule or on your planefinder screen as 326 or 326 might be heard on-air as 32K.    The use of 32K is an ATC-only identification, and appears to be a European "thing" in response to concerns there that there was confusion between airline flight numbers being used simultaneously by several airlines in those crowded skies.

 

AIRLINE CODES and CALL SIGNS

In the preceding section I wrote as if the flight number consisted only of numbers when in fact they consist of the numbers preceded by the Airline name or code.  These come in three varieties:  ICAO codes, IATA codes, and oral call signs or names.

IATA Airline Codes 

The IATA is the International Air Transport Association, headquartered in Montreal, presumably to be close to the ICAO, mentioned next.  It is the industry association made up of most of the passenger and cargo airlines of the world.  IATA gives out codes to airlines, but theirs are only two characters long rather than three.  Unlike ICAO which uses only letters, IATA uses either two letters or a number and a letter for airline codes.   These are the abbreviations or codes you see on airline timetables, on tickets, and on departure boards.   It is one of the mysteries of life why there are two different systems, but there are!    Because there are only so many two character combinations it is possible for these to be duplicated in far-apart regions of the world. 

ICAO  and ATC Airline Codes 

The ICAO is the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency with headquarters in Montreal.  This is the official agency for intergovernmental cooperation and standardization of aviation practices.   The ICAO assigns three-letter codes to all airlines that operate internationally, or might do so.  It is necessary for there to be distinct codes or abbreviations for all airlines and similar organizations, with no duplications in the world.  Unlike airport codes that have regional and national prefixes, the airline codes have no relationship to the country of ownership or operation, so that while ACA is Air Canada, AZA is Alitalia.   I am not certain how the process works but it is obviously not arbitrary, in the sense that the airlines do get to apply for something that relates to the airline name.    In FlightAware and planefinder you will see most commercial flights identified by ICAO codes.    Some corporate and military flights also utilize such flight codes.  To see full lists of such codes you should check the web. I have included in the chart below those of the airlines that regularly operate in our area.

Spoken Call Signs

Call Signs in this context refer to the spoken name of the airline, or a recognized substitute for that name.  These are used on-air for communications with Air Traffic Control and similar entities.   In most cases the call sign is at least part of the name of the company.   Examples are "United" or "Air Canada" or "Delta" or "Air France".  In a few cases the spoken call sign is a different word entirely, such as "Speedbird" for British Airways or "Brickyard" for Republic Airlines.  

A few words about military flights:

Note that the military may also use ICAO airline codes and flight numbers for transport aircraft, and all military aircraft use spoken call signs.  In the case of military transports they will sound much like the airline type.  Examples are "Canforce" for Royal Canadian Air Force transports and "Reach" for the USAF counterparts.   In North American skies at least, most foreign air force transports identify by the name of the air force, such as "Norwegian Air Force".     Combat type military aircraft use spoken call signs that vary with the squadron or formation to which they are attached or in fact can vary from day to day.

 

AERO CALL SIGNS and CODES for AIRCRAFT COMMONLY FLYING OVER AND INTO THE MARITIMES.
 

This is a list of Codes and Call Signs of airlines and other operators that fly into Maritimes airports (or have recently) or overfly the region on Trans-Atlantic routes.  

I have included all the airlines that I have logged in the past few months.  This may include some that are not regulars, and also includes some that formerly operated here but have ceased to do so, but might again.  I have removed any that were for airlines that have ceased to exist.  A major example is US Airways, with on-air call sign "Cactus", that has been merged into United Airlines.

This list is far from being complete but does include most of those operating over the skies of Nova Scotia either domestically or oceanic.

Note that on occasion many overseas airlines or air forces fly over our region for non-regular flights including such things as delivery flights from North American manufacturers.  In general these are not included in the list.

This version of the list is ordered alphabetically by spoken (on-air) call sign.  You could copy to Excel and order by other factors.

MILITARY FLIGHTS.  Most other countries use long form call signs.  For example "Norwegian Air Force".   Note that American unit call signs are often heard in our region, but due to the large transitory nature, these are not shown here.

Click here for a a webpage listing many American military aero call signs.  You will note from this list that some call signs are used by more than one unit, and may duplicate some used here in Canada.  An example is "Talon" shown below for our local 423 Squadron, which is also used by more than one American unit, so confusion is possible.
