The AOPA Airport Directory provides data on airports and heliports throughout the
U.S. and it is updated on a 56-day cycle. Detailed information for over 5,300 U.S.
airports, along with the names and phone numbers of thousands of FBOs can be
viewed. This service allows the pilot to plan an overnight, choose fuel stops, find
ground transportation, etc.
Optional airport directory databases such as AC-U-KWIK are also supported. AC-
U-KWIK provides complete listings of FBOs, charter companies, fuel suppliers, ground
transportation, maintenance and catering services at public airports across the world.

navigation database are available every 28 days online (www.fly.garmin.com). There
are two navigation database products available: the Jeppesen Navigation Database,
which is sourced by Jeppesen, and the US VFR Navigation Database sourced by

Although the Jeppesen Navigation Database and the US VFR Navigation
Database contain much of the same information, pilots may notice differences
in behavior, nearest list functionality, direct-to functionality, and map page
display due to data content variations. The US VFR Navigation Database, by
AeroNav Products, does not contain any approach data.
