For those of you who want to find the codes to an airport, Go to
AirNav.com

It is a real great source for getting information about Real World Airports that you can use in the Sim!
For instance. I planned a flight from San Juan (TJSJ) to St. Thomas (TIST). I went to AirNav.com and punched in San Juan and got all the info on the airport. I was unfamiliar with St. Thomas' airport, (my destination) because I had never flown there. so I punched in St. Thomas and got a page like this. http://www.airnav.com/airport/TIST

It will give you tons of information about the airport and runways. The best thing is that you can download the approach maps for any of these airports. You will find them under "Instrument Procedures". Thus you can get things like this!

...

Just thought I would share this with you as I seem to be getting the info on my departing and arrival airports. It supplies an actual picture of the airport from above and with the "Instrument Procedure Maps", it makes the new approach to an unvisited airport a little bit more familiar.


Tell me what you think!

I've been going here for awhile now! It's great for flight planning! Another usfull tool is that you can find out how many miles it is from one airport to another!
