This article explains the Airport Profile screen in the Airports module (example shown: G. Bush Intercontinental – KIAH). You’ll learn what’s on the page, how to add or edit data (related airports, orgs/people, aircraft, runways), and where to find supporting records like documents, notes, and audit logs.
Who it’s for: Airport data owners, operations/dispatch, and admins who maintain airport details and runway characteristics.
What you can do here
View the airport on an interactive map
Maintain Runways, Related Airports, Organizations, Persons, and Aircraft
Open supporting tabs: Contacts, Services, Catering, FBOs, Fuel, Hangar, Hotels, Maintenance, Ground Trans, Documents, Notes, Audit Logs
Airport Selector/Search: Find an airport by name, code, or keyword.
Context Tabs: Map, Runways, Contacts, Services, Catering, FBOs, Fuel, Hangar, Hotels, Maintenance, Ground Trans, Documents, Notes, Audit Logs.
Use these to switch between datasets tied to the selected airport.
Each panel has a + Add action on the left and a results grid to the right.
Related Airports – Link nearby alternates, satellite fields, or training/overflow airports.
Organizations – Companies (FBOs, service providers, airport authority, vendors) associated with this airport.
Persons – Individual contacts at on-airport orgs (station managers, line service, etc.).
Aircraft – (If used) Based or frequently operating tail numbers relevant to your workflows.
A large, pan/zoom map centers on the airport. Use the map to visually confirm location, surface access, and nearby infrastructure. (Standard map controls: +/− zoom, click-drag to pan.)
The Runways grid lists each active runway with characteristics used by flight planning, performance, and ops checks.
Common columns you’ll see:
| Field | What it means / tips |
|---|---|
| Number | Published designation (e.g., 15L/33R, 09/27). Use leading zero for 01–09 if charted that way. |
| Length / Width | Dimensions in feet (unless your environment states otherwise). Verify against current AIP/Chart Supplement. |
| Base DTHR / Recip DTHR | Displaced threshold distances at each end (in feet). Enter 0 if none. |
| Surface | Primary surface type (e.g., Concrete, Asphalt). |
| Lights | e.g., HIRL, MIRL, LIRL, as published. |
| Approach | Non-precision/visual aids present; if none, select/enter None. |
| ILS Type | e.g., ILS CAT I/II/III where applicable; otherwise None. |
| PCN | Pavement Classification Number if published. Leave blank if not available. |
| Weight Limits (Single/Dual/DblTandem/Tandem) | Published pavement weight bearing limits by gear type (in thousands of pounds if that’s your org’s convention). |
| NAVAIDs | Key nav aids serving the runway (e.g., LOC, VORTAC, RNAV). |
