7
GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION - is shown in degrees, minutes, and hundreds-of-minutes
8
UTM GRID LOCATION - is shown at airports when requested
9
ELEVATION - is shown in feet above/below mean sea level and is the highest point on the landing surface.
10
TIME CONVERSION - is shown by the number of hours to be added to/subtracted from UTC to obtain local standard time. In those areas where daylight saving time is observed it is indicated as UTC-4(-3DT) or UTC+4(+5DT). A ++ symbol following operating hours indicates that,
during periods of daylight saving time, effective hours will be one hour earlier than shown.

FLIP PUBLICATIONS -
a. SKETCH - Enroute Supplement.
b. VFR - VFR Arrival/Departure.
c. Chart and Chart panel on which airport facility is portrayed.
d. AACDTD - Area Arrival Chart Depicting Terrain Data on which the primary airport facility is
portrayed.
12
AIRPORT BEACON - Omission of (B) indicates rotating beacon is not available
13
RUNWAY DESIGNATION - Runways are normally numbered in relation to their magnetic orientation rounded off to the nearest 10 degrees. Single runways are shown with the lower number on the left side. Parallel runways can be designated Left/Right/Center with the left
runway listed first.
14
LIGHTING - is shown in the Flight Information Handbook by the following codes: (Table on A-8)
15
DISPLACED THRESHOLD - is shown by the landing distance available (in feet) with an arrow indicating the direction
16
RUNWAY DIMENSIONS - are shown in feet. ). Runways under construction and permanently closed and unserviceable runways will be depicted with the abbreviation CLSD preceding the runway length.
17
RUNWAY SURFACE - Surface material is classified as either Hard or Other. Table on A-9
18
8 RUNWAY BEARING STRENGTH -The runway weight bearing capacity in thousands of pounds will be shown expressed in terms of gross weight which can be accepted for continuing operations. It is determined by
adding 000 to the figure following S, T, ST etc.
S - Single wheel type landing gear = UH60
PCN system is used for some military fields, table in FIH D-14 shows weights. IE kdaa is PCN 52 =
19
ARRESTING GEAR
20
0 SERVICE - Specific services, e.g., CLEARANCE STATUS, LIGHTING, A-GEAR, JASU, FUEL, and TRAN ALERT available at the airport are listed under this general heading
21
21 CLEARANCE STATUS - See Foreign Clearance Guide for details.
AOE - Airport of Entry.
R-AOE - Regular Airport of Entry (US Only).
L-AOE - Limited Airport of Entry (US Only).

24
TRANSIENT ALERT (TRAN ALERT) - service is considered to include all services required for normal aircraft turn-around, e.g., servicing (fuel, oil, oxygen, etc.)
25
REMARKS - which are pertinent are shown in order of applicability. Airport operating hours are listed first followed by the major headings
26
6 COMMUNICATIONS - consists of radio communications (call signs and frequencies) available

RADIO CLASS CODE - strength/distance of navaid
31
NAVIGATION AID FREQUENCY - VORTAC and/or VOR-DME frequencies are shown with the VHF frequency preceding the Identification and the UHF channel following.
32
IDENTIFICATION - appropriate letter or numerical identifier
33
FREQUENCY PROTECTION - from interference (where applicable), e.g., (40/50) where 40 indicates 40 NM and 50 indicates altitude in thousands of feet.
34
ELEVATION/VARIATION - is the elevation (MSL) and magnetic variation of the antenna.
