Learnt recently that the codes can be changed. For example FVHA was the code for Harare International Airport to now FVRG after the airport was renamed to Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.

I was thinking for years that it is because "K" is for TV and Radio stations west of the Mississippi River like "W'' East of the Mississippi River. Like a KABC (Los Angeles) KDFW (Fox 4 DFW)

I’d prefer both codes. Reading ICAO codes is easy for me whenever I read Airports in the US. All I do is to look at the IATA code and add the K at the beginning.

Idk why other regions like Asian and Europe can’t just use the IATA code with the identifier in front rather than using a completely different code. Almost every major US and Canadian airport uses the same code just with the K prefix in front Like KJFK or KIAD or KMIA or CYYZ, CYOW Just makes identification much easier. Like London could very easily be ELHR or Madrid be LMAD

Can anyone tell me if the dark metal cone piece in back of the 777 jet engine for example is spinning in unison with the front turbo fan producing the buzzsaw tune?
@specialcb Жыл бұрын
The cone doesn't spin, it is stationary. It is typically just a streamlines cover for the engine interiors, often spits out gas from the engine. The buzzsaw sound would be coming from the turbines inside the engine.

I know both codes very well because as mentioned pilots and ATC staff use ICAO codes not IATA but tickets on route itinerary’s use IATA codes… Plus being a USA 🇺🇸resident I remember to add a K to the U.S. airports or C to Canadian airports…
