When did LCN have a name change ?
It didn't, just got replaced by a newer system.

From the BOEING 777-200 PAVEMENT DATA PDF

The ACN/PCN system (Section 7.9) as referenced in ICAO Annex 14, "Aerodromes," First Edition, July 1990, provides a standardized international airplane/pavement rating system replacing the various S, T, TT, LCN, AUW, ISWL, etc., rating systems used throughout the world.
I'm familiar with the ACN/PCN system, the LCG system, and to some extent the LCN system.

But I'm really confused where an airfield lists Maximum AUW (all up weight in x1000Kgs) dependant upon type of undercarriage assembly. (This applies to most of the airfields in the USA)

The only reference I have decodes the following codes:

S = Single Wheel
T = Twin Wheel
B = Bogie
DB = Double Bogie

But I'm coming across codes such as AUW100S/190D/360DT/550TRT/850DDT

Can anyone decode the following for me?

DT
ST
TT
TDT
DDT
DDB
TRT

p.s. which of the codes above would a B777-200 come under?
