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:
“The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“We live in a time which has created the art of the absurd. It is our art. It contains happenings, Pop art, camp, a theater of the absurd.... Do we have the art because the absurd is the patina of waste...? Or are we face to face with a desperate or most rational effort from the deepest resources of the unconscious of us all to rescue civilization from the pit and plague of its bedding?”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“...wasting the energies of the race by neglecting to develop the intelligence of the members to whom its most precious resources must be entrusted, already seems a childish absurdity.”
—Anna Eugenia Morgan (1845–1909)
