Downloading the Airport Listing (.CUP file format) If planning a
cross country be sure to (check-mark) and download the Google Earth
.KML file with it. Then look closely at every "airport" on your
intended path. I found one, Roses Field, that is now divided into 4
fields by wire fences! I'm sure there are many more that are
unusable.

My first rule is to trust "public airport" info to be what they say it
is (and I check the NOTAMS for changes); my second rule is to distrust
"private airport" information, unless confirmed personally or by someone
I trust.

Public airports "got rules", but private airports can change, have
equipment parked on them, or disappear entirely (especially grass or
dirt strips). Google can let you measure the length and width of a strip
you've seen, but it won't show you the 50 cars that will appear on it
the next day when the owner holds a wedding reception.
