Overview of main types

This is an overview of all the predefined main types available in the sightings database. These types will appear for selection in the main type field when inserting or updating a record, although it is also possible to add custom main types.

Some types have been split into two or more main type definitions because of overlapping construction number sequences. For example the Dassault Falcon 900 has two identical construction number ranges for the base version and the EX/EXE version. In order to be able to distinguish between the two versions, two main types are needed. Similar situations are known for other types like the Pilatus PC-7 and Pilatus PC-7 Mk II and the Fouga Magisters that were rebuild to IAI Tzukits.

The table shows two columns with names. The first column is the full name of the type, including the manufacturer and official names. The second column shows the name which will be used to sort plane sightings on. This name differs from the full name to sort types more logically in most cases.

A construction number list is available for a (growing) selection of types. If such a list is available a link will be shown in the third column.
