Resources
- AOPA Airport Minimum Standards A good reference for those trying to understand the thorny issues.
- World Aero Data Very reliable.
- The Airport Guide good source for airport information and can help with finding official sites for airports.
- A - Z World Airports good source, usually has both ICAO/IATA and sometimes the official site.
- airlinecodes.co.uk to look up both ICAO and IATA codes
- World Airport Codes another IATA code source but poor for coordinates and elevation
- Falling Rain Genomics, Inc. good source for information, sometimes has both ICAO & IATA codes. Pick a country and then scroll down to the airports in that country.
- COPA Places to Fly in Canada. Some information on Canadian airports. Good as external link.
- Serbia Has several airports with basic information. Not sure how current the information is.
- VATSIM - Navigation Charts and Flight Planning Tools an odd one as it's a FlightSim site. It has external links to sites that have charts/AIPs of various aerodromes world wide. Read the paragraph at the top first.
- AirNav -- US site, based largely on the FAA's A/FD data (although revisions may take longer than 56 days to appear).
- FAA data downloads -- pretty self-explanatory but a bit cumbersome to use.
- Digital A/FD from NACO, covers United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Pacific territories (still in introductory/experimental stage).
- World Airport Database, another comprehensive source.

Famous quotes containing the word resources:
“Parents can offer their help by suggesting and locating resources likely to be unfamiliar to children, such as people, books, and materials that can be useful.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Everywhere we are told that our human resources are all to be used, that our civilization itself means the uses of everything it has—the inventions, the histories, every scrap of fact. But there is one kind of knowledge—infinitely precious, time- resistant more than monuments, here to be passed between the generations in any way it may be: never to be used. And that is poetry.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“Nor is any evidence to be found, either in History or Human Nature, that nations are to be bribed out of a spirit of encroachment and aggression, by humiliations which nourish their pride, or by concessions that extend their resources and power.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
