Bad Info - Aircraft / Registration / Serial Number
Registration wise, this is probably the weirdest situation I've ever had.
I snapped this photo of an Air Berlin Q400 during its manufacturing/test phase in CYYZ.
The registration painted on the fuselage is N119KA, but at the time it was actually registered as N419KA of Nordic Aviation Capital, before being registered as D-ABQM when it was delivered to Air Berlin.
N119KA is in the database as a completely different aircraft, so I think we can eliminate that as an option. Should I use N419KA or D-ABQM for upload purposes?
Hi, hope this is the correct topic. I'm having some problem completing the form to insert a new model of plane. I selected "gliding aircraft" then "Akaflieg Stutgart (isn't it Stuttgart?)" but I have a sort of errore and the aircraft type box remains white and it is impossibile to write in it. So the sistem won't let me complete the operation, it says: "Error: no aircraft type defined". I'm trying to add "Akaflieg Stuttgart FS-24 Phönix". Thanks for your help!
Hello everyone !! I have this image in the queue http://www.jetphotos.net/viewqueued_b.php?id=4908371 but for which it is impossible to find Aircraft Registration and Construction Number. The model should be the right one.
Thanks
I have added some gliders recently and I have got some thoughts about database.
1) In 'Select aircraft' pop-up window, in 'Generic Aircraft Manufacturer' select, position 'Gliding Aircraft' should be moved up to first section (for example after 'Ultralight Aircraft').
Why? As I have never uploaded gliders before so I searched by manufacturer SZD (because some of them can be found like that). When I have not found type I was uploading, I have tried to add new type to database. But it was in 'Gliding aircraft' category...
2) After doing above, you should move all gliders to this category. As in the example above, some SZD types can be found by typing SZD in 'Generic Aircraft Manufacturer', but most of them are in 'Gliding aircraft'.
3) Adding new type. I have just added 'GP 11 Pulse' to the database. It was done by automatic form, so the type looks now like 'Gliding Aircraft GP Gliders GP 11 Pulse' because form do not let go if aircarft type does not contain manufacturer's name. So this sould be added to database manually by screener, not to include 'Gliding Aircraft' in type.
There are five more entries like that, another one is 'Gliding Aircraft Schempp-Hirth Duo Discus XT'. All Schempp-Hirth types can be found by typing 'Gliding Aircraft' and then 'Schempp-Hirth' and selecting exact type. The 'Duo Discus XT' is lost now, because nobody will search for 'Gliding Aircraft Schempp-Hirth' in second step, as they will search 'Schempp-Hirth' instead.
My GP 11 Pulse is in queue, but I hope you will correct database, that I can change type for 'GP Gliders GP 11 Pulse' (or just 'GP 11 Pulse' - used by manufacturer) before it enters screening.
