In October 2007, the ICAO Air Navigation Commission released their final approval (via
State Letter SL AN/420.1-EB/07/26 dated 16 October 2007) directing that permanent
changes to be made by the aircraft manufacturer’s in the way that they calculate aircraft
classification numbers (ACN’s). The revised alpha factors affected the ACN’s of all
four-wheel and six-wheel main landing gear aircraft. The six-wheel main landing gear
aircraft include the revised ACNs in their respective Airplane Characteristics for Airport
Planning documents. Until we are able to update the Airplane Characteristics for Airport
Planning manuals for the remaining models, the following charts (separate charts for
pounds / kilograms) should be used as the authoritative list of ACN’s for the Boeing,
Douglas and McDonnell-Douglas aircraft shown below.

If an aircraft is not listed above, then the respective Airplane Characteristics for Airport
Planning document already incorporates the revised ACN data.
