My Call Sign Length Problem

Support
#1

Tried to change my call sign but was told call sign cannot exceed 8 characters but I see plenty of others with
call signs much longer than 8. Why is that?

Welcome to the community! Are thes ā€˜longerā€™ callsigns like speedbird or Malaysia or a custom callsign? :-)

I just wanted my new call sign to be United 442. wouldnā€™t let me. But saw others using airline names and numbers even longer

#7

You have to change it by pressing ā€œAirlineā€ and scrolling to find United.

Go onto the callsign page and you will see 2 tabs on the left side press on the first tab and find united in the list

Yea and who in their right mind would want to type United 442 when you can choose the airline, type a number in and choose the suffix (Heavy, Super, Flight of nn, or nothing) lol

Yeah I was totally just not there šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Iā€™m assuming all of this can be done from my Ipad or ??

#16

Your reason would make perfect sense! In the past people had more freedom with callsigns so no doubt you thought that IF is still the same in this area hahaha

#17

Yes! Of course it can :-)
