Getting a call sign

[slim_slag]

I cannot quite put my finger on it, but flying around in a spamcan using a callsign sounds like good olde snobbery

"Liverpool Approach, SpamCan335"
"SpamCan335 Liverpool Approach, pass your message"

Got a ring to it?

And solo students have to revert to the aircraft registration. I'm not a big fan of this - it means that when you send a student solo, you are asking him to do something which he has never done before, i.e. use a completely different call-sign.

One of the Flying Schools at an airport in the Midlands add a S (Sierra) to the end of the callsign to indicate a student first solo

Someone earlier stated that an organisation paired callsign with aircraft - what a waste of effort!

A fair few of companies flying corporate aircraft have fixed callsigns for aircraft or pilot
