"Tango November..."

[Napoleon TNT]

What is that callsign for?

"Tango November 1234 Alpha..." etc

 

[Metro752]

air taxi

edit: elaboration - (from wiki) Air taxi operators in the United States sometimes do not have a registered call sign, in which case the prefix T is used followed by the aircraft registration number (e.g. tango november niner eight seven six quebec).

Otherwise they are Conganese lol, at least according to flightaware.com

It's code for "Ramp check me."

I just had this discussion with our DO and he says that the TN portion is not regulatory, only in the AIM. Personally I don't like it, too much to say and to try and listen to.

 

[CapnVegetto]

I know of very few charter folks that actually use it. Just a pain in the butt.

It makes whoever saying it feel more important.

Completely Useless.

We are only supposed to use it when going or returning international.

 

[Way2Broke]

Our op specs call for it.

 

[Hold West]

Almost everyone out here uses it. It can be dropped after the first exchange, though.
