The definitive list is maintained by ICAO in document 8585. Can't find a link on the ICAO site but the Danes have this one ICAO DOC 8585

Comes in three parts and contains a worldwide listing. Each part is sorted differently ie. by Company, by Callsign or by three letter designator.

Interesting list, thanks for the link! :ok:

I was hoping to find Air America... ;)

Nice to see some culture - SalzburgJetAviation GMBH of Austria has the callsign "Mozart". How delightful!

Love the Spamcan idea! :}

The database doesn't contain the callsign "Exam" which brings back memories of a CAAFU examiner watching my every move.

Is plastic already given? Otherwise I might just use that next time I fly a composite aircraft.

As regards to callsigns used by the Military, most of the Squadron/Mission specific callsigns aren't approved by ICAO. Callsigns such as Ascot (RRR), RafAir (RFR), Rescue (SRG) & Army Air (AAC) are all allocated by ICAO with the relevant 3 letter code.

However, "Kestrel" for example is the callsign for MyTravel Airways (ICAO code MYT) but is also used by 20sqn Harriers

"Snoopy" is another one, It's the official callsign of a German Bizjet operator but is/was also used by Grob's of the Yorkshire AEF

There are plenty of other examples where Military units use callsigns which are allocated by the ICAO to Airlines etc.. I'm not sure who, if anybody, approves the use of callsigns by the Military (& it's not just in the UK)

I heard today that Apache callsigns are allocated by computer!
ZuluAlpha: the callsign 'Acrobat One' was used by the immortal Neil Williams for a short period before his tragic death.

Part n+1 of my previous n rants in various forums: :)

Yes, ICAO believe they are above having to provide any public face, and thus their documents are available only on a paid, subscription, basis. Some States which have 'freedom of information' legislation, and take it seriously, publish for them. :ugh:

Utterly pathetic. :sad:

ICAO, shame on you. :=:=:=:=
