In InFlightAircraftStruct, one of the items is “type.”
Is that the type of report? The aircraft type?
If it’s aircraft type, is it fairly self-explanatory as to what the type is? (e.g., B747)
If it’s NOT the aircraft type, is there any way to get the aircraft type from the info in InFlightAircraftStruct?
I’m sorry if the answer is obvious, but I’ve done quite a bit of searching and haven’t been able to find an answer.
Thanks in advance!
Yes, the “type” there is the aircraft type code. In the following, it is “type”:“B772”
