Hello All,

I wonder if anyone has any advice on how to register a company callsign?
I've searched t'internet but to no avail.

We just re-registered an aircraft and crews and controllers alike are stumbling over the quite awkward radio call, so we think a callsign would be the safest solution especially when the sectors get busy!

Thanks in anticipation

Try via NATS at LHR Comms Centre. It used to be done on a national level with them who then deal directly with ICAO in Montreal. I think something is also listed in CAP32 UK AIP - happy reading !

The last time I looked into this I think they were limiting callsigns to AOC holders as they were running out of available 3 letter designators and callsigns. Could have been rubbish though!

AIC 97/2008 tells you what you want to know...
