Good morning guys, For thoseAllegro flyers that leave the pattern and go places, you may have dealt with this if you requested "flight following". On two occasions now, upontalking to ATC, they have asked for the "aircraft type designator" as they are uncertain just what an Allegro is? we have said that it is one of the new LSA. The last ATC said, "I'll just put it in as an experimental". Itfalls into the category of (L1P), which means, land, 1 engine, piston, but as of yet has not been assigned a designator. If your aircraft has notyet been assigned a "type designator" you are supposed to say, "ZZZZ". Doug and Betty Hemstead, tha distributor for Allegros in the US, has submitted the information and forms to be assigned a type designator but this will be in revue for at least 6 weeks. You can check out the web site for "ICAO", if you want to look up more info of what I am talking about. Some of the new LSA have been assigned "type designators" such as Tecnam, Sting, Kappa, Skyboy, Parrot,, Mermaid, etc. So in the meantime, if you ask for "flight following " or file a flight plan, you can file as "ZZZZ".

Thanks for the info., Bob. I've run into this and wondered when/how our
airplanes get this code.
