This is the categorization schema for aircraft. The schema is under development.
By identification[edit]
Aircraft should be categorized as specifically as possible by their identity. Each exact registration or serial number should have its own category. If the registration is not known, then the aircraft should be sorted by model or at least by type.
By registration or serial number[edit]
{{en|Aircraft categorized by aircraft registration. The subcategories are named "<registration> (aircraft)". <registration> is the aircraft's registration when a picture was taken. Samples: Category:N999ZZ (aircraft) or Category:G-ZZZZ (aircraft).
How to categorize[edit]
Each aircraft registration category should be categorized under:
- Category:Aircraft by registration
- aircraft model or type category: Category:Airbus A320 or Category:Eurocopter EC 145
- aircraft operator or owner: Category:Binter Canarias or Category:SkyEurope
- aircraft build year: Category:Aircraft built in 1990
- aircraft manufacturer: Category:General Dynamics
Specifics[edit]
- Categories for specific incidents, e.g. crashes, should be a subcategory of the registration. This in addition to other categories.
- If an aircraft is known under a specific name, its category can be a subcategory of the one for the registration. Sample: Category:Spirit of St. Louis is included in the otherwise empty Category:N-X-211 (aircraft).
- When one registration is used for more than one aircraft, the registration category is added to Category:Re-used aircraft registrations
