As JetPhotos continues to mature as a wealth of information and photographs we have been amending the original aircraft types for accuracy and becoming more strict on 'bad info'.
The most obvious changes are:
1. Standardisation on brackets instead of slashes for non-certified information. A good example is a Boeing 767-338(ER), not 338/ER. Why the need? Boeing did not re-certify the 767 to be an ER so it is in brackets as it is not reflected on the aircraft's type certificate. Other examples are (ET), (F), (Adv) etc. Please do not include "/" in your uploads, if the autofill generates it could you please amend it to "()" and send us an autofill correction.
2. Douglas/McDonnel Douglas civilian types are not going to adopt 'Boeing' information. Models up to and including the DC-8 will be 'Douglas' and the DC-9 onwards will be 'McDonnell Douglas'.
3. British Aerospace BAe 146s and RJs will all come under 'British Aerospace'. Avro was a marketting term for the RJ so the types will be 'British Aerospace BAe 146-100' and 'British Aerospace Avro RJ70' etc. Please note there is no hyphen between BAe and 146, again please correct the autofill as necessary.
4. Lockheed Tristars have been standardised on the 'Lockheed L-1011-1 Tristar' format. Acceptable series are the -1, -100, -200, -250 and -500, plus (F) and RAF models.
These changes have been incorporated but poor information from uploads will corrupt the list so please be careful. feel free to post any additions or corrections you can see here and I will endevour to incorporate them!
Thanks,
AJ.
