Ian, Aircraft in company colours are usually operating using Flight Number these days;
that kinda blows a hole in that argument :-) Gliders with registrations starting with G are also exempt from displaying the G, how many gliders out there with registrations with other than G are not displaying their registration in full?

Think it would be a good idea that touring motorgliders consider this size letters in the future otherwise CASA might realise they forgot us and start on us again re regos. They will never inforce the carriage of VH on gliders I am sure - Kiwiland GA do not have to carry ZK which is fair enough for such an island country I gather it is brought about by controllers not being able to read regos on similar aircraft (often aircraft in company colours and similar regos) and giving the clearance to the wrong aircraft and a possible ground collision Just a thought for those refinishing Ian McPhee (skype macca304) Box 657 Byron Bay NSW 2481 Australia Tel +61(0)2 66847642 mob +61(0)428847642 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.mrsoaring.com
