Hi Johnman, you've done your planning correctly. The info about ref codes in the AIP are "nice-to-know" bits of info to you as a pilot. Obviously this info will back up the fact that only this or that type of A/C is allowed to fly to the AD in question. Depending on the type of AD charts you use (company/"private set"/state) you will have either all the info or tailored info at hand. The AIP will obviously give all the info you want, but as said, you the pilot, will probably never really need to use the codes as such, especially when you are being told (in the AIP) what the max A/C type (size) is allowed at that AD. It's a bit like have performance charts for T/O or LDG which don't give you the runway lengths, but merely the masses you are allowed to use for T/O or LDG for a specific RWY for a specific A/C. Hopefully that helps, all the best for the rugby against Samoa tomorrow.
