US Airport Information

This site provides information of interest to sport aviators in the United States, particularly to pilots of sailplanes. It extracts US airport information from the FAA's National Flight System Resource files (NASR) to produce a SeeYou .CUP output file and (optionally) one or more matched companion files for use in an onboard flight instrument, such as an ILEC SN10. You can merge turnpoints and tasks contained in a user-supplied file into the output as well, while simultaneously updating information for any airports listed in that file. A bounding capability is provided to limit the output to a specified geographical area.

Select any of the numbered links on the main page for help on the associated option. In addition to those, information is available regarding the following topics:

• Disclaimer and Conditions of Use
• Companion file selections for various glide computers
• Comments in CUP, KML, and STX output files
• Comments in NDB output files (for ILEC SN-10)
• Comments in CAI .DAT output files
• Runway information encoding in comments
• Where to get a turnpoint file
• Advanced notes on working with turnpoints, formats, and comments
• Why are airports sometimes missing in output files?
• Working with a Volkslogger
• Loading airport data in a Garmin GPS
