Belgian aircraft registration and serials

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Belgian aircraft registration and serials.

First, what is an aircraft registration? It's like getting a license plate for a car. Every airplane needs to have a unique registration number so that it can be identified and tracked.

In Belgium, the registration number starts with "OO" followed by four letters. These letters are chosen by the owner of the plane, but they cannot be already used by another aircraft.

Next, let's talk about serial numbers. This is a number that is given to the plane when it is manufactured. It helps to identify the plane and track its history.

In Belgium, the serial number usually starts with the letter "F" and is followed by a combination of numbers and letters.

So, to sum up, Belgian aircraft need to have a unique registration number starting with "OO" and four letters, and a serial number starting with "F" and a combination of numbers and letters.
