Default HBX?

Great resource Bob. Isn't there also a generic "experimental" designation. I seem to recall one for TAS less than 250 knots and one for greater than. The designation "HBX" sticks in my mind.

For the record, I prefer it when pilots use the "RV#" designation. That makes it more fun when flight following.

Default Flightaware has something you might like

From the main page at flightaware.com, you can pull down the "live flight tracking" menu and pick "browse by aircraft type." There, in order of the number of each aircraft type, is a count of aircraft currently "in the system" covering most of the globe. Some countries dont participate and many VFRs not "in." Scroll down to see more GA aircraft types. Always a few RVs, seems like mostly 7 and 10s. (You can ctrl-F search for "RV" and get all models.)

Amazes me that, at most any time I look, there are as many as 2000 737s (maybe 2000 if you count all 737 models) and close to 2000 Airbus A320s airborne.

For any type on the listing, click the type and get a map of where there are. From there, you can click a particular flight to get specific flight data (speed, altitude, route, etc.) More ADS-B, more data, less privacy.

I see what I did. While setting up my account in fly Garmin I typed RV-10. It accepted RV10. When you contact the tower, do you use the term Experimental with your tail number or specify RV10 with your tail number. The CFI who checked me off would contact the tower with " Experimental (with tail number). And thanks.......

For Tower/ground on initial contact I use Experimental RV 728TT. On Subsequent calls I omit the Experimental. For calls to app/dep/center I just use RV 728TT.

Here's the wording out of my OPLIMS: "The pilot in command of this aircraft must notify air traffic control of the experimental nature of this aircraft when operating into or out of airports with an operational control tower. When fling Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), the experimental nature of is aircraft must be listed in the remarks section of the flight plan."

I use to use Experimental 14MW for initial calls. Now I us RV14MW on all calls.
Had approach reply back to me once as Army14MW. I guess they sound close to the same. I quickly corrected them. I guess my speed made me look just like a F16.
