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:
“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)
“I am willing to pledge myself that if the time should ever come that the voluntary agencies of the country together with the local and state governments are unable to find resources with which to prevent hunger and suffering ... I will ask the aid of every resource of the Federal Government.... I have the faith in the American people that such a day will not come.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
