KEAT name history?

Along with the dirth of ids there are also apparently restrictions
such as "the first and second letters or second and third letters of
an identifier may not be duplicated with less than 200 nautical miles
separation."


A restriction that is often overlooked. About sixty miles southeast of AUW
you'll find ATW, continue for another 40 miles or so and you'll find MTW.

Ah, I've read that site before but apparently not well enough... I
actually thought about whether there were any restrictions on leading
Z before I posted, but convinced myself there were not thanks to
another nearby airport - Zanesville (KZZV). FWIW, someone pointed out
in a similar discussion elsewhere that there's also KNEW in New
Orleans, so all the rules are made to be broken I suppose

Your 200nm rule might explain why it wasn't KELI - too close to
KERI... so, yeah, maybe they just got sick of trying to make something
fit and picked some random letters out of the hat. Maybe someday I'll
get to the bottom of it...

Many of the Z codes are used by centers. KZSE, KZOA, etc.

Care to explain the logic of KGOO???


I see it was recently changed from O17 to GOO - I have absolutely no
idea where they're coming up with the identifiers for these changes.
There's an airport near me, Zelienople Municipal Airport, that changed
from 8G7 to PJC and I can't figure out any connection. If anyone has
any insight I'd love to hear it...

The just got weather reporting and have to have all letters. A local
airport went from F39 to KGYI when it got AWOS
