A. A.I.R. is an acronym for Airport Information Reference. A.I.R. is the most innovative airport reference product on the market. Airport information is updated daily from a variety of official F.A.A. sources and made immediately available to our customers on our web site. All airports are treated equally by our revision department and have the same page layout.

A. Cost efficient.

• No more paying for airports you do not fly to.

• No more waiting for revisions to come in the mail and having to find the time to remove outdated pages. All flyingdatabase.com airports are updated daily from a variety of FAA sources.
• No more carrying around bulky binders with airports you never fly to. Just download and save the A.I.R. file for the airport(s) you are flying to and print or send to your PDA. You can store you're downloaded A.I.R. files in a flyingdatabase.com 9" x 7" binder or just take the pages with you. It's your choice.
• You can continue to reprint your downloaded A.I.R. file after saving it on your computer. You only need to download the same airport again if revisions have been made. Just check the date on your copy against the A.I.R. file on flyingdatabase.com.

A. After the A.I.R. file download is complete and you have saved it on your computer for future use, you have the option to view the A.I.R. file on your computer or PDA or simply print your A.I.R. file on your home, office, FBO or hangar printer. Each printed A.I.R. file is designed to be folded in half (text side out) to fit on your yoke or kneeboard, for easy and safe viewing. There are 3 placers for a hole punch which may be placed in our A.I.R. Binder keeping you organized!
