12 | 9 | ## Flightplan Data Fields
|
13 | 10 | - **Type**: flight rules used. Currently *swift* supports:
|
14 |
| - * VFR - Visual Flight Rules |
15 |
| - * IFR - Instrument Flight Rules |
16 |
| - * SVFR (Special VFR) |
17 |
| - * [DVFR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVFR) |
| 11 | + * VFR - Visual Flight Rules |
| 12 | + * IFR - Instrument Flight Rules |
| 13 | + * SVFR (Special VFR) |
| 14 | + * [DVFR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVFR) |
18 | 15 | - **Callsign**: this field gets filled in automatically from what you have set as callsign on the **[Connect Page](./connect/index.md)**.
|
19 | 16 | Should the callsign shown on the flightplan not correspond to the one on the Connect Page, click on the blue circle icon to reload and override it.
|
20 | 17 | - **Aircraft & Equipment**: this field gets filled in automatically from what you have set as callsign on the **[Connect Page](./connect/index.md)**.
|
21 | 18 | You can change it manually any time.
|
22 | 19 | * type code: needs to be a valid 4 letter aircraft type ICAO-code, check *swift*GUI's [Connect Page](./connect/index.md) for details
|
23 |
| - * Heavy: if the MTOM (Maximum Takeoff Mass) of your aircraft is equal or greater than 300,000 lbs or 136 tons, set a check mark |
24 |
| - * TCAS: not really used any more |
25 |
| - * Equipment Code: VATSIM is currently transitioning from **[FAA codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipment_codes#List_of_FAA_Aircraft_Equipment_Codes_For_US_Domestic_Flights[3])** to **[ICAO codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipment_codes#List_of_ICAO_Codes_(As_of_15_November_2012)[2])** in this respect. |
26 |
| - *swift*'s flightplan form still uses and transmits FAA codes to the VATSIM flightplan interface. |
