HI RUN! I was just wondering... You once told me that when they give you your call sign, they take three letters out from your name - now:
1. Does the pilot have anything to say about which letters?

2. Is there a speciel system/order?
- and in addition to that, would'nt it be possible for me to get ICE as a nickname(I've got all three letters)

That would be a cool name. If you get accepted to start on the flying school I will see what I can do in order to get you that name. There is no system and the students don't have any say in the matter.

1) Normally the pilots don't have anything to say at all but they can ask for a new one in particular cases.

2) Duty Ops looks at the names of the students and randomly takes out letters to make a call sign. Example: My name is Henrik Bach and my call sign became "HEB". I wouldn't hope to much to get "ICE" as a call sign if I was you.
"SIM" could more likely be yours.

Regards, Henrik.

Hi Henrik

Let's hope for him he doesn't get the name SIM. The name doesn't have to be cronological in order like yours. A lot of the names aren't, just see mine John Raahauge - RUN. But you are right about that they probably won't give hime the name ICE. Thats a little too cool for a student´;-)

Hello,

This here is the real ICE. haha.
Did you know that not just the Airforce gives out nicknames.
I was with ATC at Schiphol Airport and it got me the nick ICE.
I won't tell you why, just wanted to let you know that the cool nick
, as you guy's call it, is certainly given away.

Greatings ICE.haha.
