Sectional chart airports

[tonynsx]

Hello,

Is there a way to find the airports that are in a sectional chart? For example, which airports are included in the Baltimore/ Washington chart?

Thanks,

Tony

If you research an airport in the Chart Supplement it will indicate which Sectional the airport is on.

I was about to post the same thing, but I think the OP wants to do it the other way around - given a sectional, generate a list of airports.

I thought there was a database somewhere, but I can't find it.

Might try this tool:

https://www.faa.gov/airports/airport_safety/airportdata_5010/

I found a way to get an airport list by State, but not for the DC area.

For example, in the Central Region I can get a list of airports by state, but I can't find a comparable option in the DC area:

https://www.faa.gov/airports/central/about_airports/

This will tell by State (I'm in KS), but KS is covered by several sectionals.

The FAA NASR data has the sectional chart to airport mapping in both horrible fixed width and horrible AIXM XML formats. https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/Aero_Data/NASR_Subscription/ They don't appear to have the Terminal Area mappings though. Probably have to compute the bounding box for each TAC and match them that way.

Go here: Airport Facilities Data

That will download a tab-delimited file of all the airports in the US. Open it in Excel. Column AG, "ChartName", is the sectional that the airport appears on. Go to Data -> Filter, clear everything and choose the chart you're interested in, and presto - There's your list.

What happens when it's on mutiple charts?
