updates for the software. The database that I am providing, free of
charge, to user's of AirPlan covers the USA and some surrounding
areas. The removal of the DAFIF from the public domain by the NGA
prevents me from being able to provide worldwide coverage as was
originally provided with the software.


Can you publish the data file format?

Hi Paul,

The source of the data I am using is readily available. I am using
the USFIF (DAFIF shrunk down to the USA) from the NGA website and
supplementing the private airport data from the FAA's database. The
USFIF is free to download and you can buy the FAA data from the NACO
website for a small amount of money. The coverage is only the USA and
parts of the Caribean, Canada, and Mexico (border areas only).

I have not found a reasonable source of worldwide data since the DAFIF
went away. Have you had any luck?
