I feel we should have something in A350 thread titles pointing out the sub-type (-900 or -1000). It could be "A350-900 - MSN ..." and "A350-1000 - MSN ..." or, to make it shorter, "A359 - MSN ..." and "A350K - MSN ...". What do you think ? Seconded. It is A35K by the way. I used to think it was A35J as per this list, but the source document says A35K... someone please update wiki!

I guess it is only typed in once ? I would go for the longer full versions PS I meant once per frame to set the thread up

I agree and it is a good idea, thanks stealthmanbob! Setting A350-1000 might be a little long so I've tried just with the A351, how does it look like?.... Others would then be A359

I think not everybody could be aware of the letters, it would be easier with the digits?.....

I liked the idea of using standard codes which you are more likely to find when pulling up source articles and other information. And at some point, people are going to have to get used to it, no? Not any more different than using B77W to describe the B777-300ER.

I think Baroque showed the correct version, but i have to agree with Fabien that it is easier and self-explanatory to use 359 or 321 or 788......., and it is known by FR24 users

How about the A350-900 also?.... Can we leave it as A350 or should we use A359 or a letter?.....

If we should use the official four letter ICAO codes the following should apply A350-900 = A359 A350-1000 = A35K www.icao.int/publications/DOC8643/Pages/Search.aspxSearch for "Airbus" and all Airbus ICAO codes are listed I haven't found the official IATA code, but that is usually the ICAO code less the producer prefix. I.e ICAO A359 is IATA 359
