Airport information is divided between the first four file tabs: ‘AVIATION’, ‘RUNWAY’, ‘COMM’
and ‘APPROACH’. The following pages describe the information provided under each file tab:
AVIATION— displays identifier, facility name, city, latitude and longitude, available fuel types and
field elevation.
Available fuel types include:
• AV— AVGAS: 80/87 octane, 100 LL, 100-130 octane
• JET— Jet A, Jet A-1, or Jet A+
• MO— MOGAS: 87 octane unleaded
The GPSMAP 295 uses International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) identifiers to
designate airports. In the United States, the prefix letter for airports is ‘K’. This applies
to airport identifiers that are letters only. For example, ‘LAX’ becomes ‘KLAX’. Airport
identifiers that use numbers, such as ‘H34’ or ‘7M5’, do not use the ‘K’ prefix.
Airports are retrieved from the database by identifier, facility
name or city. In this example, all the airports in Chicago can
be retrieved by scrolling through the entries by city.
Note that the ‘K’ prefix is not required for smaller airports
that have Letter and Number identifiers.
