How do you know if an airport has declared distances and where do you find them?
FAA provides declared distance information in the A/FD. The airport diagrams depict any variance in runway length by a note; e.g., Rwy 13 ldg 5000’. Jeppesen provides TORA and LDA information on their 10-9 pages in the Additional Runway Information section.
What is class 1 and class 2 navigation?
Class two navigation is any en route operation that is not categorized as class 1 navigation and includes any operation or portion that takes place outside the operational service volumes of ICAO (international civil aviation organization is a United Nations agency which helps 193 countries to cooperate together and share skies) standard navaids for example, the aircraft equipped only with the VORs conducts class to navigation outside the operational service volumes of federal VORs.
