Welcome to Aircraft Recognition!

Welcome to the ATCast Learning Center Aircraft Recognition Guides. Here you will find recognition guides for manufacturers and aircraft as found in the 7110.65 Appendices A & B (Fixed-wing and rotary aircraft).

Each PowerPoint slide contains the following information: a picture of the aircraft, its model number (from the manufacturer), the nickname(s) associated with the aircraft, the aircraft's model number as it would appear on a flight progress strip, and the word "heavy" if the aircraft is a heavy.

Some aircraft have multiple variants, depending on engine type or on-board equipment. Instead of having multiple slides in these cases, a single picture has been used and the different model numbers listed below, since in many cases these different models are visually indistinguishable from each other or have only minor external differences. Also, the weight classifications for the Boeing 757 and the Airbus 380 are currently being re-examined, so the slides for these aircraft reflect the current interpretation as found in the most recent changes to the 7110.504.

Hopefully you will find these guides useful. Additional guides will be added as they become available. For additional information on different aircraft types, check out:

Fixed Wing or Rotary Wing, i.e. Helicopters
