South County (Q99) is changing to E16.

1. When?
2. How do you know?

Thanks,

I was informed of this change by the Director of Santa Clara County
Airports by email:

To all users of South County Airport (San Martin, California),
We have been notified by the FAA's National Flight Data Center that
effective on June 10, 2004 the South County Airport Identifier will be
officially changed from Q99 to E16. This change is due to a conflict of
Area Navigation Routes (RNAV) identifiers that begin with the letter "Q"
and airport identifiers that also begin with the letter "Q". The FAA will
notify all aerial chart manufacturers of this change, and new charts and
approach plates are expected to reflect this change in the next series of
publication releases. Please note this change for your records. The
County Airports staff will make the necessary changes in signage, websites
and other County documents as required.
Thanks,

Carl Honaker
Director
Santa Clara County Airports
