G - Receipt at the Start of an Operating Service Period. Used
    by reporting custodians to report receipt of an aircraft
    that is beginning (not resuming) an operating service
    period; for example, an aircraft returning from standard
    rework.

R - Receipt of an aircraft that is neither beginning nor ending
    a service period. Use to report an aircraft that has
