    121Contractions

    Section 2. Contractions

    121. DEFINITION

    A contraction is a word, title, or phrase represented inshortened form for the purpose of brevity.Contractions facilitate communication and thus are avital part of the Federal Aviation Administrations(FAA) everyday communications process.

    122. USE OF CONTRACTIONS

    a. Contractions lend freedom to communica-tion(s) in general correspondence. Without them,written communication becomes cumbersome.

    b. Contractions save space on telegraphic circuits,tabulating and computer equipments, charts, draw-ings and reports.

    c. The International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) is the focal point for worldwide use in theinternational aeronautical community.

    d. Standard ICAO abbreviations and codes are tobe used, wherever possible. These are available inICAO document 8400.

    123. RULES FOR DEVELOPINGCONTRACTIONS

    To form or use contractions, the following rules mustapply:

    a. Signs and symbols included as part of acontraction are limited to those available on FAAcommunications equipment.

    b. Contractions composed of both upper and lowercase letters cannot be used in telegraphiccommunications.

    c. In some cases, a contraction may include letterand number combinations.

    d. A contraction should retain an alphabeticalsimilarity to the longer word or phrase.

    e. Threecharacter contractions are no longer to becoined due to possible conflict with LocationIdentifiers in an automated and voice responseenvironment.

    f. Words of five letters or less are not to becontracted.

    g. Excessively long contractions will not beadopted.

    h. Prepositions, conjunctions, and articles shouldbe omitted in forming contractions. The slant may besubstituted, if necessary.

    i. A pronounceable word should be attained, ifpossible, when contracting a phrase.

    j. Abbreviations that are unique to a particularpublication must not be listed in this order.

    k. A contraction may have more than onemeaning. There are four different categories whichconstitutes this rational. These categories are airtraffic, general, meteorological (weather) andinternational aeronautics (ICAO).

    l. In cases where a contraction may be unfamiliarto the recipient, spell out the word or phrase the firsttime it is used and follow it with the contraction inparenthesis.

    m. Contractions stated should read fluently withthe remainder of the text. If questionable, therecipient should refer back to the originator.

    n. The contractions in this order may normally beused for any derivative of the root word. If confusionwould otherwise result, variations may be shown byadding the following letters to the contraction of theroot word:

    able BLal Lally,erly,ly LYary,ery,ory RYance,ence NCder DRed,ied Dening NGer,ier,or Rern RNically CLYive Viest,est STiness,ness NSing Gity TYment MTous USs,es,ies S

    131AircraftType Designators

    Section 3. AircraftType Designators

    131. MILITARY AIRCRAFTTYPEDESIGNATORS

    a. For air traffic control purposes, only theprincipal elements of each military aircraft designa-tion, Basic Mission/Type Symbol and DesignNumber, must be used. The combination of theseelements is limited to four (4) characters.

    b. The Basic Mission/Type Symbol is an alphabet-ical letter denoting the primary function or capabilityof an aircraft. The symbols used are as follows:

    A AttackB BomberC Cargo/TransportE Special Electronic InstallationF FighterH HelicopterK TankerO ObservationP PatrolR ReconnaissanceS AntisubmarineT TrainerU UtilityV VTOL and STOLW Weather ReconnaissanceX ResearchZ Airship

    NOTEThe letters H and V are also used as special missionsymbols (HRescue aircraft; VVIP aircraft) in which casethey precede the basic type symbol, e.g. HC130, VC137,HH52A.

    c. A Design Number is assigned to each basicairplane. Design Numbers may be 1 through 999.NOTEA new Design Number will be assigned when an existingairplane is redesigned or modified, either in appearance oroperation, to such extent that the new design no longerreflects the design configuration or capability.

    132. CIVIL AIRCRAFTTYPEDESIGNATORSNew designators will only be assigned to new typeaircraft and to those modifications, or differentmodels of a type, when the weight category orstopping distance group change.

    133. REQUESTS FORAIRCRAFTTYPE DESIGNATORSRequests for aircrafttype designators are to besubmitted to FAA Headquarters, Mission SupportServices, Aeronautical Information Management,800 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC20591.

    141ICAO Aircraft Company ThreeLetter Identifier and/or Telephony Designator Assignments andU.S. Special Telephony/Call Signs

    Section 4. ICAO Aircraft Company ThreeLetterIdentifier and/or Telephony Designator Assignments and

    U.S. Special Telephony/Call Signs

    141. GENERAL

    a. This section contains information, direction,and guidance to be used when obtaining Internation-al Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) companydesignators and telephony designators (call signs)for those operators and servicing organizations thatrequest or are required to obtain designators.Commercial, domestic, and international operatorsuse designators for air traffic control (ATC)operations. ICAO Three-Letter Identifiers andTelephonies and U.S. Special Telephonies/CallSigns are contained in Chapter 3 except for ForOfficial Use Only Special Telephonies/Call Signswhich are contained in FAA Order 7110.67, SpecialAircraft Operations by Federal, State Law Enforce-ment, Military Organizations and SpecialActivities.

    b. The Air Traffic Organization (ATO)headquarters (HQ) Aeronautical InformationManagement (AIM) Office (AJV-2) ([email protected]) assigns the designators when theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) determinesthat designators are advantageous and operationallyappropriate to the U.S. ATC system. In the interestsof safety, AJV-2 reserves the right to revise or cancela designator assignment in the event of confusion ormisuse. The FAA will not assign a three-lettercompany identifier nor its associated telephonydesignator without their approval by ICAO forworld-wide use.

    c. The four types of designators are entitled anddescribed as follows:

    1. Company designator (ICAO three-letterdesignator);

    2. Telephony designator (used instead ofphonetically pronouncing the three-letter companydesignator associated with the aircraft call sign);

    3. Special telephony designator (special hand-ling); and

    4. Local telephony designator (local visualflight rules (VFR) operations only).

    142. COMPANY DESIGNATOR

    a. The company designator, together with a flightnumber, serves as the aircraft identification in theATC system. Company designators are valid onlyfor company business in accordance with theprovisions of its operating certificate or servicingorganization. Pilots will use standard identificationprocedures for personal flying. The companydesignator serves as the aircraft identification forthe ATC system in several situations. The companydesignator and flight/trip number are used instead ofthe aircraft registration number for ATC securityand operational purposes and may be used for theinternational telecommunications service when itsuse is advantageous.

    b. ATO AJV-2 may assign a three-letter companydesignator to:

    1. Scheduled aircraft operators that operateseven or more non-seasonal international airoperations each week or at least 15 non-seasonal,domestic round-trip air operations each week;

    2. Chartered aircraft operators that may requireuse of the AFTN;

    3. Aircraft operators that require an ICAOthree-letter designator for security purposes; or

    4. Flight service companies and organizationsthat meet none of these requirements but are deemedworthy of an ICAO three-letter designator (i.e.,Veterans Airlift Command).

    143. TELEPHONY DESIGNATOR

    a. The telephony designator (used instead ofphonetically pronouncing the three-letter companydesignator associated with the aircraft call sign) isusually assigned by ATO AJV-2 at the same time asthe ICAO three-letter designator. The call sign,together with a flight number, is the aircraftidentification for radio voice communications withair traffic personnel.

    b. The telephony designator should be phonetic-ally pronounceable in English. The designatorshould not consist of more than two words and three

  • JO 7340.2C 2/9/12

    142 ICAO Aircraft Company ThreeLetter Identifier and/or Telephony Designator Assignments andU.S. Special Telephony/Call Signs

    syllables. Numbers and phonetic letters may not beassigned as part of a telephony designator; however,existing telephony designators which violate thisrule will remain in effect.

    c. Use of telephony designators:

    1. Increases operational security andaccountability;

    2. Reduces online noise distractions that createsimilar sounding telephony designator confusion;

    3. Expedites air and ground communication,enhances auditory recognition, and reduces potentialfor mistakes in verbal communication; and

    4. Satisfies specific requirements for interna-tional flight operations.

    The operator must include a new or changedtelephony designator in the Remarks section of theoperators flight plans for at least 60 days followingthe new designators effective date.

    144. SPECIAL TELEPHONYDESIGNATOR

    a. ATO may authorize a special telephonydesignator to enable special handling by ATC.Examples of situations in which ATO may authorizea special designator include:

    1. Federal, state, local, or tribal governmentalorganizations operating within the continental UnitedStates (CONUS);

    2. Commemorative flight;

    3. Large number of aircraft participating in anorganized race;

    4. Aircraft operating during emergencies ordisasters; or

    5. Aircraft that need special handling forsecurity or test purposes.

    Special telephony designators may be issued as validfor a limited duration, corresponding to the eventrequiring special handling.

    A special identifier, from four to five characters, isassigned in conjunction with the special telephony.The special identifier, when pronounced, is thespecial telephony.

    145. LOCAL TELEPHONY DESIGNATOR

    A local telephony designator must be used only forcommunication with local airport traffic controltowers (ATCT) and/or air traffic facilities duringVFR operations; they must not be used for filingflight plans.

    Flight schools or other operators which operatepredominantly in a limited airspace are encouragedto investigate a local telephony identifier if it willimprove communications and enhance safety.(ICAO will not grant a three-letter identifier to thistype of operator.)

    146. PROCEDURES FOR ASSIGNMENTOF DESIGNATORS

    Companies and service organizations make allrequests for designators to the appropriate Air TrafficService Center. ATO AJV-2 ([email protected])administers final designator assignment.

    a. Company Designator/Telephony Designator.The operator or service organization must submitthe following information for a three-letterdesignator and the telephony designator request:

    1. The name and address of operator orservicing organization;

    2. The type of aircraft operation or serviceprovided (a list of the operators served is required forservice operations);

    3. If applicable, a copy of the operator publishedflight schedule, monthly flight history, or projectedflight schedule, highlighting international flightactivity;

    4. If applicable, a copy of the FAA certificatewhich authorizes the companys operations and statesthe 14 CFR part under which operations are to beconducted; and

    5. Choices for requested three-letter designat-ors and telephony designators, listed in their desiredorder. At least five choices are recommended toeliminate potential back-and-forth communicationsin the event a choice is not available/granted.

    b. Special Telephony Designator. Government aircraft operators (U.S. State, local,tribal, and law enforcement aircraft) desiringspecial telephony designators must contact AirTraffic System Operations Security via email [email protected]. All others must

  • JO 7340.2C2/9/12

    143ICAO Aircraft Company ThreeLetter Identifier and/or Telephony Designator Assignments andU.S. Special Telephony/Call Signs

    contact ATO AJV-2 ([email protected]). Operatorsmust submit the following information for thespecial telephony designator request:

    1. Type of flight;

    2. Type of handling required;

    3. Type and number of aircraft; and

    4. Routes and duration of operation.

    NOTESpecial telephony designators do not receive a three-letteridentifier.

    c. Local Telephony Designator. Local telephony designators are used only forcommunications with air traffic facilities for VFRoperations as specified in a letter of agreement (LOA)between the local facility or service area and therequesting applicant. The LOA will contain provi-sions to ensure that the applicant uses local telephonydesignators only with facilities or service areas thatare signatories to the agreement. The appropriateservice center must review the LOA, coordinate withthe military liaison to ensure the designator is not inuse, add its recommendations to the letter, andforward the signed LOA to ATO AJV-2. The servicecenter or facility will issue the signed LOA to theapplicant.

    147. CHANGES IN COMPANY STATUSOR CERTIFICATE REVOCATION/CANCELLATION OR INACTIVITY

    a. When an assigned three-letter company desig-nator and/or telephony designator is no longerrequired, the company must notify ATO AJV-2([email protected]) in writing. ATO AJV-2 must notreassign any designator it has released for at least 60calendar days. Notification of change or releaseshould be made when:

    1. Operations are permanently suspended orcancelled;

    2. Company name or address changes; or

    3. A single operating certificate is issuedresulting in a company name holding more than onedesignator. (Typically one of the existing designatorsis retained, and the other is cancelled.)

    b. Principal Operations Inspectors (POI) mustnotify ATO AJV-2 when a company operatingcertificate is revoked or surrendered.

    c. If a company fails to use a three-letter companydesignator or telephony designator for two years onan Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight plan inU.S.-controlled airspace, AJV-2 will place them on awatch list. AJV-2 will revoke and release anythree-letter company designator and telephonydesignator that is not used for three years on an IFRflight in U.S.-controlled airspace. Any requests for awaiver of this policy should be made in writing toAJV-2 ([email protected]).

    148. AERONAUTICAL FIXEDTELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK(AFTN)

    The AFTN system also uses ICAO three-letterdesignators for identification, communication, andbilling purposes. The AFTN system is an integrated,international system of aeronautical fixed circuits.The AFTN system provides the exchange ofmessages and flight plans between aeronautical andfixed stations within the network.

    149. EFFECTIVE DATE ANDPUBLICATION

    The required administrative period for approval of athree-letter company and/or telephony designator isapproximately 45 calendar days. ATO AJV-2establishes an effective date for the designator.
