As a website that caters to general aviation pilots, we know that many of them are logging in from various places around the country. At any given time pilots are accessing our airport directory online via laptop, Smartphone, iPad or an airport’s business center, looking for information to help them plan their next route. Once you start transporting tour groups or using your plane to make important deliveries, gathering knowledge about general aviation airports will be imperative. How many times, after landing in a new airport, have you found that you would have benefitted from more knowledge about the airfield? Some GA airports have a few old runways and one newer one. The older ones can often be rougher and more difficult for pilots to land on. Now, you can use an airport directory online to make the right pre-flight decisions. As we strive to live up to the slogan that says “Be In The Know Everywhere You Go,” the Airport Authority is constantly adding new content to the site and updating our maps to reflect any additions or deletions. One pilot, who wrote a nice testimonial email to us, was pleased to report that one of our recent articles had helped him quite a bit.
Before leaving for a trip to Albuquerque last year, he read our blog about the Double Eagle II Airport and learned about the width and length of the two runways, as well as the elevation of the airfield atop “Nine Mile Hill”. As a relatively new pilot flying in the Southwest for the first time, he was impressed by the level of detail offered at the Airport Authority and said it helped him tremendously to know which frequency had current weather reports. Even knowing the hours of their FBO services can be helpful when landing a plane late at night. As more general aviation pilots seek out an airport directory online, either at home or on the road, the Airport Authority holds a unique position as one of the leading information sources in the industry. We are pleased to offer a wide range of detailed airport data and the type of information that pilots need to know. If you’re looking for the easiest way to plan your next flight and want the “inside scoop” on the best GA airports, bookmark The Airport Authority as your airport directory online.
