5.2 AIRPORT DIRECTORY DATA
The Airport Directory contains airport statistics such as pattern altitudes, noise
abatement information, FBO phone numbers, hours of operation, local attractions,
ground transportation, lodging, and services.
The AOPA Airport Directory (Aera 510 & 560 0nly) 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.
