This document, FAA Order JO 7360.1J, provides standardized aircraft type designators used in air traffic services. It is primarily aimed at air traffic management personnel and those involved in air traffic control. The order outlines the definitions, uses, and formulation of aircraft type designators, which are essential for ensuring consistency and accuracy in aircraft identification during air traffic operations. The document also includes information on wake turbulence categories, runway separation, and special designators for aircraft that do not have assigned type designators. It serves as a comprehensive reference for understanding how aircraft are categorized and identified in the National Airspace System.

• Aircraft type designators are essential for air traffic management and are updated every 28 days by ICAO.
• Designators are typically derived from the manufacturer's model number and are not longer than four characters.
• Wake turbulence categories are based on the aircraft's maximum take-off weight, affecting separation standards.
• LAHSO procedures require specific landing distance minima based on aircraft groups.
• Special designators are used for aircraft without assigned type designators.
