Hi all
As someone who's until recently only ever seen M/S/R/C on FPL equipment lists, does anyone know of anywhere where I can find a list of all the different 'official' letter designators laid out/listed, along with the relevant description/meaning? ie M/S/R/W/X......and so on.....

Thanks in advance guys

These are found in ICAO publications, and probably somewhere in the Eurocontrol website.

Here are a few that I know:

C Loran C
D DME
H HF
I Inertial Nav
K MLS
L ILS
O VOR
R RNAV approved (RNP or reduced navigation performance)
S Standard equipment (ie VHF comms, VOR, ADF, ILS)
T Tacan navigation
U UHF comm
V VHF comm
W RVSM approved
Y 8.333 KHz comms (I am guessing here)
