That is a TVB thing. It automatically translates the callsign, which is the atc_airline parm in your aircraft.cfg file, into the IATA code for tha airline that uses it and adds it to the flight number and displays the airline name from the table as well.

I get loads of those. You could try amending the table to what you want it to be but it would be a never ending job, plus the mil callsigns are quite often used by multiple units. Details of how to do it are in the TVB dcos.

In reality you just have to ignore it.

As far as I know, it is a purely "TVB" thing. It has no effect on what atc will say.

So if the callsign is "HUNTER", and the flightplan number is "0011", ATC will call it "Hunter One One".

Obviously, in your screen shot example the flightplan number is "62", so ATC will say "Hunter Six Two".

"6N" was the IATA code for Trans Travel Airlines. It's purely there for reference based on the callsign like Dan said.

If it was the American Airlines callsign, TVB would put "AA 62" for example but ATC would still call it "AMERICAN SIX TWO".
