In this photo, you see a sign placed in front of an aircraft listing the aircraft types that could be accomodated at the gate:
I have some questions:
1) How come the aircraft types are displayed this way, whereas at other airports, they are just indicated on the "yellow bars" on the pavement.
2) The aircraft types seem to be grouped by gate category (based on wingspan?). I wonder why the MD-11 was grouped together with the 773 and A346 - it certainly is not anywhere near as long or as wide (wingspan). And isn't the IL96 a little large to be grouped with the DC10, etc.?
