View Full Version : Boeing 77W or Boeing777-300ER Bungfai 27th Jul 2012, 13:19 When being asked by ATC of aircraft type, should we say Boeing 77W or Boeing 777-300ER? Wizofoz 27th Jul 2012, 13:29 Either. 77W is the ICAO identifier that identifies it as a 300ER. misd-agin 27th Jul 2012, 20:42 I've yet to have ATC say "follow the 77W". They do say "follow the 777-300." Bert 737Jock 27th Jul 2012, 20:58 They say follow the "triple-seven" Never heard any of the others.... Wizofoz 27th Jul 2012, 21:11 It's relevant as a lot of FIRs charge according to weight, and also because the 300 is D catagory, while the 200 is C. When asked I usually give my type by the ICAO identifier for brevity, but I'm sure using the "Full" name would work too.
