Eagle Aircraft Type - FAA Flight Plan

[Roger Miller]

Every time I file a flight plan, the planner stumbles with the aircraft type for an Eagle II – does anybody have a definitive answer for the “official” aircraft type?

Okay, for flight planning

All experimental airplanes.

HXA. Cruise IAS <101 KIAS
HXB. Cruise IAS >101 KIAS and < 201 KIAS
HXC. Cruise IAS >201 KIAS

So Eagle should be. HXB/ equipment

What you say is true and will work fine.

The official ICAO aircraft type designator for the eagle is
"EAGL" (easy enough ;0)

(Check page 79 of: http://www.icao.int/anb/aig/Taxonomy/R4CDAircraftsATMbydesignator.pdf
)

Worked for me!

Cheers!

i do normally take S2AA (which is the Pitts S2A). This is not 100% correct but they understand it, dont ask questions and would always identify your aircraft correctly because of its similar look....

The general purpose designators HX(a/b/c) are used to indicate to ATC
the experimental nature of the aircraftand its expected performance
(e.g cruise speed AND climb and descend). HXB puts you on a climb/
descend @ 700fpm if my memory serves me well. As far as search and
rescue is concerned, that doesn't give much of a clue except if you do
mention in the comment section.

Because there is already a designated type (EAGL) that serves both
purpose, I don't see the purpose of calling it any otherwise, IMHO.
