Hope it helps, and feedback is appreciated.


Very nice. How often is it updated?

One suggestion. While looking around at some of the local airports, one of
them had it's identifier obscured, because it was identified where there was
a line denoting an interstate highway. Can that be fixed?

Thanks, for another favorite site!


The data is pulled from a Jeppesen XML feed that they provide to the
public via agreement with the FAA. We check every few minutes to see
if anything has changed. If it has, we then download the entire list
and update ours.

The particular problem you're describing can probably be addressed.
This is all our software, not a third-party tool, so we can change
anything we want. Can you give me that airport ID so I can check it
specifically? That would be very helpful.

Glad you like it.
