Description

AIRAC Cycle

Choose the AIRAC Cycle to use, see AIRAC Cycle for more information.

Station ICAO Code

Enter the ICAO code, or if no ICAO code has been assigned, enter the alpha-numeric FAA code. Do not enter the three letter IATA code. 

The program will verify if there is already an airport on file with the ICAO code or FAA code. If there is, it will be displayed with a corresponding warning.

IATA Code

Enter the IATA 3-letter code for the airport. If no IATA code has been assigned to the station, or if it is unknown, enter XXX. 

Note: If there is a duplicated IATA code, the station most frequently used by your company should be assigned the IATA code, and the second airport should be assigned XXX.

Name

Enter the name of the airport.

Country Code

Enter the ICAO Country Code for the airport.

For airports within the continental USA, this will range from K1 to K7, whereas for most other countries, the first two letters of the ICAO code are identical to the Country Code.

Country Name

The name of the country where the airport is located will automatically display once the Country Code has been entered.

Lat/Long/Var

Enter the Latitude and Longitude coordinates of the airport, and the local magnetic variation; use numbers only. 

Southern Latitudes, Easterly Longitudes, and Easterly Variation, are to be represented as negative values. If you are unsure of the Variation, you may press <Enter> and have the value calculated by the system. 

Also, if the value you enter for variation differs from the system calculated value by more than 2 degrees, you will be given a confirmation prompt.

Elevation

Enter the height of the airport above Mean Sea Level, in feet.

City Name and State

Enter the name of the city and state that the airport is located in.

Type

Enter the type of airport: public <Y>, military <M>, Joint Public/Military <J>, private <P> or other <N>.

Spl Use (Y/N)

Options are Y or N and are set by the user.

• If the airport is to be considered a special use airport, this flag will be set to <Y>.  

• If the airport is not a special use airport then the field will be set to <N> or left blank.

This feature allows the user to have a warning sent to their OFP for airports flagged as Y. By flagging this, it gives the operator a warning to verify crew qualifications (ie. special certification and/or any other safety/regulatory) requirement before they operate on these airports.

Example: A warning for SPL USE airports flagged as Y.

Note: The N-FP Data team currently monitors the “FAA "Special Pilot-In-Command Qualification Airport List" and updates the Navdata Master with this information. 

GMT Dev

Enter the deviation between Local time and GMT (UTC), expressed in hours and minutes. Negative values indicate that local time is less than GMT, i.e., Local Time = GMT + (GMT Dev)

DST (Y/N/E)

Enter whether or not daylight savings time applies to this station. An E indicates an exception; this occurs when different areas within the same time zone in a country operate with different daylight saving time deviations and/or time periods.

DST Dev

Enter the deviation between local time and GMT (UTC) while DST is in effect, and the start/end dates of the period during which DST applies.

Taxi D/A

Enter the default values for Departure and Arrival Taxi times, in minutes.

Curfews 1 and 2

Enter any known curfew restrictions, using LOCAL times.

NOTAM

Is this a supported NOTAM location? Options are Y/N. If Yes, NFP supports NOTAMs for this location. If No, NOTAMs are not supported.

ATC DEP: / ARR: 

First field - Options are <Y> or <N>, default is <Y>. 

If set to <Y>, FIR AFTN addresses entered in the FIR database apply. 

If set to <N>, you must enter the AFTN address(es) in the next field(s) to indicate where you want your ATC message to be sent to, as this overrides the addresses entered in the FIR database. 

This change can be completed for either DEP (if, station used as the origin), or ARR (if, station used as the destination).

Comments

Enter any general comments pertaining to the airport.

Updated

Enter initials identifying the person who last updated the screen information. The current date will update when the file is saved.

Shard

This feature allows you to define and manage custom NAVDATA for your own ALCs, as well as, it allows NAVBLUE to manage domestic data for certain countries that may differ from the internationally published data that the NAVDATA Master system uses. We have named these custom NAVDATA sets "Shards", because they are a separate piece of the navigation database.

Report Type (Long/Short)

Enter <L> or <S> to indicate whether you wish to have a Long or Short report. 

The Long Report will show all information that is on file for each airport.

The Short report shows only selected details so that each record will fit on a single line, thus, allowing more stations to be reported per screen.

Airport Identifiers (ICAO/NON-ICAO)

Enter either <I> or <N> to indicate whether you wish to generate a report of airports that have ICAO identifiers, or those which have special FAA-type identifiers.

From

Enter the ICAO identifier of the first station you wish to see reported. Do not enter an IATA code.

To

Enter the ICAO identifier of the last station you wish to see reported. Do not enter an IATA code! This field will be Z-filled, so you can request a listing of all airports in a particular country simply by entering, for example,  From <CC> , To <CC>.

Country Code

If you have selected a Non-ICAO report, then you will be required to select the Country Code you wish to see reported, rather than the range of identifiers.
