A tad confused (but then I\'m getting on)

Hi,

Basically the idea for the European Award is to land or arrive in 10 (blue), 20 (silver) or 40 (cobalt) distinct european countries.

Although Iain said on some last posts that they must be totally separated, they must not. For example, imagine that I departure from Portugal and Landed in Spain : It counts 2. Then I make another flight departing from Portugal (again) and landed in France : That counts 3 in total. and so on ...

Currently the script is changed to that logic. That is, i count the distinct departure airports, and then count the distinct destination airports not included on the first ones.

Current ICAO codes for european countries start with:

'EB', 'ED', 'EE', 'EF', 'EG', 'EH', 'EI', 'EK', 'EL', 'EN', 'EP', 'ES', 'ET', 'EV', 'EY', 'LA', 'LB', 'LC', 'LD', 'LE', 'LF', 'LG', 'LH', 'LI', 'LJ', 'LK', 'LL', 'LM', 'LO', 'LP', 'LQ', 'LR', 'LS', 'LT', 'LU', 'LV', 'LW', 'LY', 'LZ', 'BG', 'BI', 'UI', 'UK', 'UL', 'UM', 'UR', 'UU', and 'UW'

Hope that helps .. If you noticed something wrong, please tell me.

Regards,

There's one missing from that list 'UI'.

Could do with clarification on 'UI', 'UL, 'UM', 'UR' 'UU' which are all in the timetable as Russia. Do they count as 1 or 5.

EHM-0654 Murray:
Bill,

If memory serves, all the Russian ICAO's count as a single country for the purposes of the awards, same as the two German ICAO's (ED and ET) count as a single country.

NOTE: Bruno, fixed your list as per Bill's remark, and added spacing so it wraps properly. Hope you don't mid.

EHM-1617 Iain:
Murray - I think you mean ED not EG as one of the German prefixes.

EHM-0654 Murray:
Well spotted Iain. Modified my post to correct.
