Procedures and charts

Charts open from the FAA's digital Terminal Procedures Publication, cycle 2612, effective 11/26/2026 12:00:00 AM to 12/24/2026 12:00:00 AM. Not for navigation; check the cycle before flight.

NOTAMs

Not for operational use

NOTAMs as captured by CircumFlight from the FAA's NOTAM distribution; not FAA data, and not necessarily complete or current. Always get an official briefing before flight.

PLAIN-LANGUAGE READING - BEST EFFORT. Abbreviations are expanded automatically and may be wrong or incomplete. The raw NOTAM above is the official text; fly by it, not by this.

Other programs: pandemic relief (CARES, CRRSA, ARPA), the infrastructure law (AIG, ATRM, FCT) and ARRA. US $ / op is that fiscal year's awards to towered fields divided by those fields' operations, so it compares like with like; Share of US is this field's awards against every award in the FAA's report for the year. A year without counts has no tower figures.

Weighted comparison (CircumFlight's own estimate)

An airline operation and a light-aircraft operation are not the same use of an airport, so this view weights itinerant operations before dividing: air carrier 32, air taxi and military 4, general aviation 1, roughly in proportion to fuel burned, and so to the fuel and ticket taxes that fund the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. The weights are CircumFlight's, not the FAA's; local (pattern) operations are left out. The US column uses the same weights over every towered field with an award that year.

Categories are read from the FAA's project wording by CircumFlight's rules (noise mitigation first, then the pandemic programs, terminals, runways, taxiways, aprons, lighting and navaids, safety and security, snow removal and equipment, land, planning, buildings and roads). A grant that lists several projects is counted under its largest line item here and shown under it below; a line item with several projects takes the first one named.

From the FAA's Airport Improvement Program grant history reports, FY2010–FY2025 (federal fiscal years, October to September), as the FAA published them. Every program in those reports is counted: from FY2020 they include CARES, CRRSA and ARPA relief, and from FY2021 the infrastructure law's AIG, terminal (ATRM) and contract tower (FCT) grants, so a total here is not AIP alone; the AIP share is shown separately. Tower operations are the FAA's ATADS counts for towered fields, calendar years 2010 to 2024; a field without a tower has no counts, and a year's dollars per operation divide a fiscal year's awards by the same-numbered calendar year's count. Grants to state block programs, system plans and proposed airports carry no airport identifier and are not shown on airport pages. Ranks count airports with at least one award in these years. Figures are as published and may be revised by the FAA; this is not FAA analysis. Sources: FAA AIP grant histories, FAA ATADS airport operations. What a sponsor agrees to in accepting a grant: FAA grant assurances.

Distances are great-circle from the airport reference point; bearings and winds are true. Conditions are each field's own METAR from the last two hours; a dash means it has none.
