Air Traffic/Pilot Terminology

I did not know that. I wonder what airport BUGSY is near? I wonder what town
that airport is near? I just can't seen to figure it out. Maybe someone smart
like you could tell me the way.

In his first post he ask what BUGSY. BUGSY is Malone-Dufort Airport at
Malone, NY and later he ask what heavy was. My guess is he's near
Montreal.

To what type of traffic do you want to listen? A busy commercial
airport? A busy general aviation airport? A sector of airspace
(perhaps near some airport)? Something else?

BUGSY is NOT Malone-Dufort Airport, nor is at Malone, NY. It is the
missed approach fix on both GPS approach plates to KMAL (Malone-Dufort
Airport) and is about 11.2 nm from KMAL. The closest town to BUGSY is
Mountain Veiw, NY, not Malone, NY. BUGSY is also a fix on the enroute LO
and HI charts.

Enter the fix name into airnav.com. That will give you information
about the fix including lat & long, what charts it appears on, nearest
airport, and nearest town. Then look at the referenced charts for the lat
& long. If IAPs, look at the airport entry in airnav and then look at the
IAPs for that airport.

In the AIM (Aeronautical Information Manual) in the back of the book
there is dictionary of Abbreviations/Acronyms. You can get am AIM at
the local airport, or at a bookstore for between $15 -$20. You can
also get for free at
http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraff...ns/atpubs/aim/

Since a new edition of the AIM comes out every year, you can also
usually find older versions pretty cheap at a used book store. You
wouldn't use an old version for flying or serious study, but for general
interest they work fine. I think I once paid $3 or $4 for a printed,
bound copy of the FAR/AIM (the AIM plus some of the more important
Federal Aviation Regulations) that was a couple of years out of date.
When I'm in the smallest room in my house, it's a lot easier to read
dead tree slices than it is to read a PDF.
