Something I never really got the hang out of it:
Let's take a transport category airplane, e.g. a 737. There are different series of the 737: 737-200, -300 up to the -900 series.
If you look closer at the model number however, you will never find that G-XXXX or NXXXX is a 737-300, instead it will display something like: 737-3H4. What does 3H4 represent (equipment, engines, year?) and does 3H4 mean that it is a 300 series aircraft?
In simple words: Can you decode 3H4?
