List of airports with autofuel
I'm looking for a website that has the entire list of all airports in US that are reported to sell autofuel. airnav.com is close, but the best I can search is a 200nm radius from a given point (airport or lat/long). It'll take me over 200 searches in a grid search pattern to cover the entire US. Ideally, that list of the airports can be placed on a map. With the lat-long information it can be easily achieved on a webpage with Google map API. Anyone knows where I can get such a list? |

List of airports with autofuel
I'm aware of www.airnav.com. However it's not good enough. It would
be really nice to show all the autogas airport on a map. Also there's not a way to list all the 300 or airports in the entire US that sell autogas. |

Also there's not a way to list all the 300 or airports in the entire US that sell autogas. It may HAVE to be good enough... And on top of that, many of the locations with auto gas listed are in out of the way locations, with irregular hours, sometimes unpaved strips, and in some cases actually no longer provide it. Some fields with auto gas have strict procedures that are a major hurdle to transient ops. Your best bet is to plan a trip from LAX to Jacksonville with a 200 mile wide course on Airnav for fuel planning and jot them all down, Move north and do it again. 4-5 flight plans should cover them all. I will ask on one of the list servs Im on about just such a list, that one of the members was building.. but I recall that the list was 1) incomplete and 2) inaccurate. Dave |

Mogas Map, Was List of airports with autofuel
At the risk of reinventing the wheel, in the event that someone out
there already has a comprehensive list of mogas places... I have started a frappr map of Airports with Mogas on them. http://www.frappr.com/aviationmogaslocations It is INCOMPLETE, as its less than 12 hours old, and is reliant on peer input to become complete. If you know of a place that sells mogas, then feel free to join the frappr and then add the location in the form of a color coded pushpin. Right now it adds locations by zipcode, which arent exactly where the airports are, but its close enough for a first stab at flight planning. Put the identifier and airport name/city name on the pin's location, and in the comment feel free to add the vendors name, number, or the Airnav weblink for the airport (which becomes clickable). Because this will NOT be regularly updated, avoid putting the price in, rather, call the vendor or the field before flight to verify price. Since this is about the places, and not the people, eventually the people pins will be deleted, BUT, its open admission, so you can always re-enroll to place more places on the map. Dave |

www.airnav.com Put in your location and search area and it will show you all the airports in the area with the fuel you are looking for sorted by price or distance. Most of the locations with autofuel (at least in California) are seaplane bases though. airnav.com seems to get a lot of its information from the FAA ATA-100 files, which do have a data field indicating whether or not autogas is available, but the data seem to be very optimistic, showing autogas where in fact none is available. Maybe airnav autogas info comes from some other source, but if it's from the ATA-100 files, I'd say it's not very reliable. |

Mogas Map, Was List of airports with autofuel
At the risk of reinventing the wheel, in the event that someone out
there already has a comprehensive list of mogas places... I have started a frappr map of Airports with Mogas on them. http://www.frappr.com/aviationmogaslocations Such a great concept, so poorly executed. I thought I'd take a minute to add Muscatine Municipal Airport, a VERY nice, almost new airport just to the south of Iowa City, with huge, new runways, an ILS, a new terminal building, a great FBO, and mogas. We NEED a map like this to help everyone find mogas around the country, and I thought Frappr could be the solution! So, I got to the end of entering all the info....BZZZTT. "You must first join Frappr before you may enter a location". *sigh* Okay, so I "joined" Frappr, and re-entered all the information....BZZT! "You must first join the "Mogas Group" before you may enter a location." Jeeessus. So, okay, I "joined" the group, and re-entered all the information.....BZZZT! "You must first join the 'Mogas Group' before you may enter a location." Augh -- an endless loop! At which point I said "F*ck this" and moved on. Too bad, too, cuz the idea's got legs. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I will readily admit that Google/Frappr is changing crap DAILY.. and this particular hurdle is a pain in the ass. The whole frappr thing as a whole has become Google's answer to "myspace" which is where primarily teens can set up a free (but advertiser laden) corner of the web and link to other "friends". Once this map gets populated with places it wont be such a problem, since most folks will only ever LOOK and not have to add. Anyways.. Gradually I will get around to adding the ones I come across on Airnav.. and I'm waiting on an XL spreadsheet from a rotary powered cozy pilot in Florida... It will get there. For what its worth, Jay.. you can always just put a link to it on your flying links page... and folks can LOOK at it without having to be a member. Again, Thanks for trying. Dave |

So far, the ones that I've posted from "airnav" I've either called personally, or have had prices updated THIS year.. so Im hoping its not stale. Again, folks who post, please put the vendor's contact in there for verification.. every little bit helps. And as Jay found out, you have to be a member of Frappr to post.. and you have to be a "member" of the mogas page to post there.. so theres a few steps if you are not familiar with frappr. Anyone can read without registering, however. Dave |

If you know of a place that sells mogas, then feel free to join the frappr and then add the location in the form of a color coded pushpin. I've added Plymouth Municipal Airport, KPYM, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, along with a number to call for current prices. Last weekend, Mogas was $3.00 a gallon. The airport also has an ILS. I'd also like to point out an airport that, according to AOPA's airport directory has autogas, but it actually doesn't. It's Skylark Airport, in Warehouse Point, Connecticut, 7B6. I discovered that the hard way, and their 100LL was more expensive than lots of other places I could have landed. I've sent a message to AOPA to have it changed, but they haven't fixed it yet.

UNVERIFIED... 300 locations.. including hawaii and alaska. The cozy pilot friend got back to me, and I uploaded it to my EAA chapter webpage. There are no links to this file on the chapter webpage... have to link in directly from below. I will work on adding them to the Frappr as I get time. http://www.eaa12.org/files/mogasairports.xls Dave |
