Q codes
Can anyone help, looking for info relating to Q codes. Basically I would like to know what they all stand for. Can't seem to find out.
Thanks B |

Try link below for ICAO, publications for sale. I believe this is the right document. Document no. 8400, USD 38. Have fun memorizing them all, coupla thousand if I remember correctly! http://icaodsu.openface.ca/search.ch2 |

One thing: the list that I referred to gives you the interpretation of the codes but no information regarding the origin or logic behind the choice of letters as far I know.

Some more can be found HERE

As far as I know the origins of the Q codes were from when morse was the method of communication (far quicker to spell Q** than "request weather at destination":} - in fact still far quicker to say QFE then " pressure setting at airfield level"
As for the choice of letters - Some connection between the meaning and chioce of letters would be nice, but if there are several thousand I think that would be asking a bit much! :D |
Thanks everyone, big help. And yes there are more than a couple.

QFE... Request Field Elevation [pressure] ?

Q400 = 400 Questions before flight.

Hams still use the Q codes. They are very handy and you don't need to know more than a few for everyday communication - QTH, QRM, QSB, QRU, QSY and one or two others.
