AFAIK B777-300ER is a B77W (ICAO)

Cheers
Thanks for that bit of info, had not seen that code before. It would appear to be a new designation, which has already caused at least one incident. Giant Boeing 777 assigned to wrong LAX taxiway; AP http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/pro...627&id=8837445

It is not surprising that it has caused confusion. The ICAO website was last updated 09Apr08 and does not list this. Doc8643 - ICAO Aircraft Type Designators My interest in this is professional, as currently implementing a system which includes processing of flight plans. Interesting how many appear to have missleading aircraft types.
