"Jamal, first off, all flights are for right now either 742 or 744 aircraft. The choice is yours on that. As for the registration number, you don't have to fly any certain registration at this time. I do believe that is yet to come. As for the other flights you are seeing (NZ) etc those are flights for another airline (ACMI Charters)and yes they are all cargo contracted out to Atlas. You would fly Atlas Air Cargo aircraft on those flights. As for ICAO, I am not sure what you are talking about. Can you be more detailed in referenc to the question about ICAO? We use the four letter airport identification. KORD is Chicago O'hare and all applications call for you to use "KORD" for that airport. PHNL is Honolulu and you would use PHNL for that airport as well. I hope that helps, if not post again and either I or someone will try to help you."

First off thanks Captain Jones for the speedy and very detailed Explanation u awnsered 98% of my question =-) as for the ICAO code i was refering to the Callsign ICAO code example 5Y....do we still use 5Y for charter flight... example using FSACARS the ICAO 5Y will Automatically assign the Callsign GTI or PO....but im assuming we must ignore this for flights with the pre-fix RF or NZ

Jamal, To connect to the server in order to see your Flight on the GC Map you have to use either 5y in the case of Atlas or PO in the case of Polar Flights e.g. Emirates 6911 would be entered as 5y6911 both for Fsacars and the GC Map. Also the server won,t recognise the PIREP unless its either PO or 5y. Mike
