The entries are included alphabetically. The nine-character comment field
provides a compression of the data base's comment or turnpoint
description. If that is not available, for turnpoints associated with a
landing field, or for landing fields included for reference, the frequency
is included if available as well as the orientation of the principal
runway and its condition; e.g.
103/2134T is an airfield with a runway
oriented 03/21 which is 3400' long and whose surface is reported to be
turf.
At the option of the providers of the data for a site, the turnpoint number may
be appended to the end of the waypoint name, and the name may be replaced with
an identifying abbreviation where that has been established [
e.g. St. Auban ].
A "*" in the first column of the comment indicates that the code for the waypoint is
not H, A, L, h, T, t, S, F, or z;
i.e. it is not the home field, an airport, landing site,
turnpoint, start gate, finish gate, or ultralight strip, but a landmark or
an airspace reference.
The files contain additional information, beyond the 45 read by the Zander
software, for use by
Karel Termaat's flight planning software
X-Country Planning and Analysing Software (XCPAS).
That is, the files may be imported into both the Zander and the XCPAS
software.
