Customizing Sectionals

Hi Eric,

You are correct of course. The radio frequency data was not exported -
which is a bummer. I requested that SeeYou add the ability to select what
data is put into the export file's comment field but no luck so far. The
data is in SeeYou. I believe it is possible to get the radio frequency into
the file using some creative column copying in Excel, but I haven't tried it
yet.

Even so, it is very easy to create a waypoint file for any area of the USA
with very current airport data using SeeYou or StrePla.

Good Soaring,

John Liebacher has made the FAA airport database available at:

If you have SeeYou, you can load this database, then overlay your
turnpoints, and reject nearby duplicates. This will update the airport
data in your exiting turnpoint database, plus give you landout airports
for the whole country. You can then trim this down as much as you like.

You may not need SeeYou, as John may have a version for GNII. The SeeYou
version does include the frequencies, runway width, fuel availability
(for motorgliders, of course). Some formats have smaller
comment/description fields and may not have all info.

I just tried exporting to a Cambridge DAT format, and the radio
frequencies are not exported, though the runway width and fuel show up in
the comments field.
