Airport guides on video?
Does anyone know of any videos that provide overviews of airports--kind of
an "AFD on video" type of thing? Anything that's broken down by region? Thanks. |

I am not aware of videos, but Jeppesen provides trip kits with large full color photos for many airports: http://tinyurl.com/23ww4 I'd also recommend visiting the Web site for the airport if you plan to go into a large terminal area such as a Class C airport. Most of these airports publish their own brief on local procedures, etc. Many include helpful maps. For example, check out the Orange County / Santa Ana airport guide: http://www.ocair.com/JWAPilotInfoGuide.pdf If you are in the Western United States, I urge you to consider this line of books, truly the ultimate "A/FD on steroids," they are the best: http://www.pilotsguide.com/ Be warned, however, that you should always check the A/FD anyway, as it is the final word in this sort of thing. I recently flew into Catalina Avalon (AVX) and found that although my pretty-looking guide to California Airports stated the summer hours of operation for this field began in "April," I did not realize that the A/FD said more clearly "April 16." As a result, I landed there a few minutes after the 5pm (winter hours) closing time, thinking I had until 7pm (summer hours). No big deal, but lesson learned on checking the A/FD instead of relying solely on the better formatted guides. When it comes to A/FD and chart subscriptions, I happily recommend the very best people for this sort of thing at the very best price, AvMaps.com: http://www.avmaps.com/ They send me a fresh A/FD automatically and the price cannot be beat. It's a nice little small business and the guy behind it appears to be a very hard worker. Two thumbs up for him. Good luck, -angus |

I don't know about video, but I know of a CAP website that has photos of
many airfields. Check http://www.capnhq.gov/airfield/default.asp Philip Sondericker wrote in : Does anyone know of any videos that provide overviews of airports--kind of an "AFD on video" type of thing? Anything that's broken down by region? Thanks. |
