Super Callsign

[CJGuitar]

I’m new to IFL, so can someone tell me what “Super” added on the end is suppose to mean?

You use it when flying an A380 in the United States.

Hey, welcome to the forum! This should help…

What is Meant by the 'Suffix'

Heavy is for heavy aircraft, capable of a MTOW of 300,000lbs (whether or not they are actually flying with a load up to that not). They are the 767, 777, 787, 747, A330, A340. The 757 also has a special designation as Heavy even though it’s just under 300,000lbs as it has caused wake turbulence accidents before. Super is for the A380. They shouldn’t be used in IF for anything else.

It has something to do with your weight, and your wake turbulence as far as I know.
This may help! A google search would help more though.

Uses of Heavy and Super

Hello All, I felt the need to explain that HEAVY and SUPER are for planes that make wake turbulence. A 737 does not need the “Heavy” name. Please make this a realistic experiance :D Flight of 2,3,4,5 used for a group of people Heavy: 747,767, 777, 787, A330, and A340. Super: A380 Good Day everyone!
