FLIGHT GUIDE ONLINE DISCLAIMER
Airport Data and Online Services
Flight Guide Online is not intended to be used for navigation.
Flight Guide Online is an airport reference for VFR use only. Flight Guide Online information is collected from many sources and may not be accurate. Airguide Publications does NOT make on-site surveys of airports. All critical flight information must be verified by the user with official sources at the airport, and by reference to official charts and publications.
The information in Flight Guide Online is intended to supplement official charts; it is NOT intended to provide navigational information essential to flight operations. Airguide Publications does not guarantee the accuracy of any material published in Flight Guide Online, nor do we guarantee against changes to airport facilities, airspace entities, frequencies or data, and assume no responsibility for the use of the contents of this product.
The misuse of Flight Guide Online can cause unsafe flight operations. If you rely upon the absolute accuracy of the information in Flight Guide Online, you could create a hazard for yourself and others. This can happen because airport information changes daily, and if we aren’t notified of changes, we can’t update the information in Flight Guide Online. It is thus of paramount importance for you to understand that you cannot absolutely rely upon Flight Guide Online.
What can you do about this? Pick up the telephone. Comply with FAR 91.103 and take required preflight action. Become familiar with all available information concerning your flight. For example, the following steps might be taken:
- Prior to flight, telephone a FSS (1-800-992-7433 or 1-800-WX-BRIEF) and obtain a weather briefing, determine fuel requirements, alternatives available if the planned flight cannot be completed, and any known traffic delays.
- You must know the takeoff- and landing-distance data for the airplane you are going to fly, and the aircraft performance data with regard to the airport elevation and runway slope, aircraft gross weight, wind, and temperature. Obtain Sigmets, Airmets, and NOTAMs regarding your flight.
- Plan your flight with reference to appropriate and current NACO charts. File your flight plan with the FSS in accordance with FAR 91.153 (VFR) or FAR 91.169 (IFR). Then fly the plan. See the General Info section regarding a standard briefing and NOTAMs, and remember, the Pilot in Command is directly responsible for the operation of an aircraft: FAR 91.3. Your preflight call to FSS is necessary to obtain the latest information.
- You may also telephone the airport for the latest information; try an FBO there, the control tower, or a local CFI. If you learn something that differs from what you find in Flight Guide Online, please let us know.
- Never fly without the current sectional or terminal-area chart (TAC). Use it for navigation; that is what it is designed for.
-
Include in Your Preflight Action Checklist
- Use current sectional charts for the intended route and alternative routes as well as adjacent areas if near the border of sectional coverage.
- Carry a current terminal-area chart if applicable.
- Review FAR 91.103, “Preflight Action.”
- Calculate fuel requirements.
- Plan alternatives––route, destination, etc.––in case your original plan cannot be completed.
- Check weather reports and forecasts.
- Check for NOTAMs along route and at destination and alternative destinations.
- File a flight plan.
