They've made an idiosyncratic choice of which airports to
include. They don't include Palo Alto, but they do include KOYO, whatever that is (not a public use airplane airport, for sure, and not on the SFO sectional). They include a handful of non-towered airports, e.g. Columbia, but by no means all. Odd. John "Skyking" wrote in message om... Pretty cool site.

They don't include Palo Alto, Apparently PAO has ATIS and not AWOS. but they do include KOYO, whatever that is (not a public use airplane airport, for sure, and not on the SFO sectional). Yeah, that's on the map but not in the list. They include a handful of non-towered airports, e.g. Columbia, but by no means all. Hey, this is a government thing but it's better than nothing. Maybe if you search, you can find a place to complain. If you look at the list, not all of the AWOS sites can be accessed online. Oh well, Skyking |

They include a They've got a bad habit of sticking a "K" on the front of all identifiers when they plot it on the map. KO70 on the map is really O70 (Jackson). I can't figure out what K0Y0 on the map is - the only airport that looks even close to that on AirNav is 069, Petaluma. -- "The magic of usenet has never been its technology; and, only in part, its reach.

I wonder how the good old USA got a "K" when Canada got a "C" and Great Britain got a "G"?

As a quick rule of thumb, you append the "K" only to airports, and only to
those whose identifiers contain only letters (no numbers). "Skyking" wrote in message om... (Paul Tomblin) wrote in message ... In a previous article, "John Harper" said: include.

Alaska and Hawaii (and US territories) don't have an easy rule like that, but the ICAO ids for those airports start with a P. Theoretically only airports that produce weather reports or forecasts, or that are airports of entry have ICAO ids[1], but in practice GPS manufacturers (and my waypoint generators on http://navaid.com) do as you say, and put a K on any airport id in the lower 48 that doesn't have digits in it. [1] A lot of airports had to change id to not have any numbers in the id when we went to METAR/TAF for that reason, and also even now when an airport gets an AWOS, if it had digits in the ID it will change id. Wings Field near Philadelphia did that a few years ago. -- "The magic of usenet has never been its technology; and, only in part, its reach.
