Hello all,
What rules do you guys have for spotting?
- Number or frame? If a serial numbet changes like it moves to another operator, do you still count it? After all the reg may have changed but it is the same air frame.
Especially when operators like Norwegian keep messing about with serial changes and can't decide on being LN or EI !
- Works frames, would you count A6-EOD if you saw it as F-WWSY?
I've got a A6- ticked off as I seen it as F-WWSL, but the book didn't know what the serial will become.
- Overheads, I assume we all count these? I only count them if I can either see the plane pretty clearly (not a little bit of it and use bino's to help), make out the operator and if I'm not sure I won't jot anything down.
I do not tick off any overheads in the dark, just seeing strobes is not a count. I do count them if they are landing and I can see it in a distance, but I must see a tail to point to it.
What do you do?
James.
