(Most one letter- two number airport IDs in Pennsylvania/ NJ begin with N.) Looking further, a bunch of Q-number-number ID's have changed recently to something else. Perhaps the FAA no longer likes identifers that begin with Q? Still its strange that they just assigned one to Smoketown a few years ago only to change it now. South County (Q99) is changing to E16. The change is due to the conflict with Q identifiers used on RNAV routes. John -- John Clear - http://www.panix.com/~jac |

Thanks, Hilton I was informed of this change by the Director of Santa Clara County Airports by email: To all users of South County Airport (San Martin, California), We have been notified by the FAA's National Flight Data Center that effective on June 10, 2004 the South County Airport Identifier will be officially changed from Q99 to E16. This change is due to a conflict of Area Navigation Routes (RNAV) identifiers that begin with the letter "Q" and airport identifiers that also begin with the letter "Q". The FAA will notify all aerial chart manufacturers of this change, and new charts and approach plates are expected to reflect this change in the next series of publication releases. Please note this change for your records. The County Airports staff will make the necessary changes in signage, websites and other County documents as required. Thanks, Carl Honaker Director Santa Clara County Airports -- Marty Shapiro Silicon Rallye Inc. (remove SPAMNOT to email me) |

I wonder why they don't synchronize this with the Sectional publication dates. The next San Francisco chart will come out in early September. An airport in NJ, Lincoln Park, had a pattern changed from right traffic to left recently. That information came out late last summer, the November New York sectional did not reflect the change. The new chart which came out this month reflects the change. |

Yes, that's how I noticed Lincoln Park's change ![]() changes that aren't urgent, I don't see the harm in synchronizing the change with the sectional publication dates. Going through a list of fine print changes in some publication isn't practical when you need to obtain information in flight about an airport you weren't planning to stop at; looking at the current sectional is. IFR pubs are updated much more often so it really isn't much of an issue. |

Sectional charts are updated during their 6 month lifespan via the Aeronautical Chart Bulletin in the Airport/Facility Directory. If the date of a change is optional, it would be better for pilots if the change were synchronized, so that there would be fewer updates for pilots to have to manually add to their charts. CDW recently changed its freq also, it would have been nice if they had waited a few months. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

Delaying a change for a few months means putting up with the problem for a few months. Updating a chart is easy. |
