Airfield Ratings in Turnpoint list naming convention

For airports listed in the FAA database, I heartily encourage attacking the problem at the source. There is a process for reporting errors on both charts and in the database. Getting it corrected there benefits all users of that data, not just our community.

The problem of unofficial landout locations is much harder. One issue is that they are often ephemeral things. What is perfectly landable in June may not be so in August.

Note also that Google Earth, while very helpful, is not completely trustworthy either. Some of the images are years old. I have seen situations where Google Earth depicts a field or a runway that doesn't exist.
