Nice sleuthing BigTuna.

So I guess it's N67367 or more likely Cessna 67367. And I don't shorten it until they do.

Got it.

But I've had a terminal controller from St. Louis tell me that it makes the pilot sound like an idiot when he uses the "November" in a call-up.


That is his problem, IMO.

And as far as US vs Canada vs Mexico, the US uses numbers or numbers and letters. Both Canada and Mexico use all letters. I don't see an issue here.

As far as Canada and Mexico goes, that is a non starter for me. They both use all letters and the US uses numbers or numbers/letters.

i always thought that th e pilot didnt have to say november but the controllers did.


I never heard that one before. The only time I ever used November and the only time I have really ever heard it used was when the number was less than 5 characters long.

Well, I DO hear controllers use it, but not often.

Another question....Skyhawk N37625, or Cessna N38625 - what do you use?


Pretty much all single Cessnas, I use "Cessna". Only exceptions would be Centurion for the 210 and Caravan for the 208.
