- About this plate
- THE PREVIOUS NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD EXECUTION, a colour change, not a redesign, and included for two reasons. Second, it carries the second-letter N-Z allocation rule, which is the era signal described in its charset notes and is far more useful to a parser than the colour itself. The 2009 overlap with the current series is the rollout, with old stock issuing on.
- How numbers are issued
- reported: WTF-1976 to approximately ZND-9999, issued mainly as replacements for earlier First in Flight plates carrying the older ABC-123 and ABC-12 formats.
