Dene,

Thanks for the references. Ron explained where I had messed up, but it is useful to get the definitions. I had forgotten that the runways came fro the Xplane site.

Hi Rex,
Having been through a similar experience recently, I appreciated the following two links;

1) Most recent apt.dat.gz;
http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/data/Airports/?cvsroot=FlightGear-0.9

and

2) apt.dat definition
http://x-plane.org/home/robinp/FileDef.htm

Hope this helps
Cheers

Subject: [Flightgear-devel] Format for Airport Data
Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 09:16:47 -0500

The description for the airport data appears to be out of date.
I am using the data file from the FG9.8 vintage, dated Jan 17, 2005,
and I want to fly from Gillespie Field in El Cajon, CA (KSEE).  The
program has trouble identifying runway 28L on which it wants to
start, (why?) but the file identifies only 17x and 09R. The runways and taxiways
appear to be identified by the number 10, while the documentation
says it should be R.

Is there another source that explains the layout so that I can fix the
problem?

thanks,

Rex
