How we check stays and airports
A source for the stay, a separate record for the airport.

Stay facts and access
We read the property's own website or the airport's website. "On the airport" and "own runway" need explicit wording from one of those sources. Each listing quotes the access evidence and links to the page it came from.
Pickup details keep the source's conditions, including call-ahead requests or transport that may be possible by arrangement. Terminal-only shuttles do not qualify for the airport-pickup collection. If the source does not identify the pickup point, the listing says so.
Walking from the ramp or FBO, pilot deals, guest aircraft parking and dog policies need their own evidence. A short distance alone does not confirm walking access. Unknown details are marked as not confirmed.
A nearby stay can be included when its own website supports the airport connection, or when it shares an airport group with a stay that is on the field, has its own runway or offers airport pickup. That grouping does not imply transport or walkability.
FAA airport records
The airport boxes use FAA NASR data. They show the FAA ident, an ICAO code only when one is supplied, city, elevation, runways, fuel types, transient-storage flags and tower status. Each box links to the source and the FAA Chart Supplement.
Open, public-use airports are eligible, except large and medium commercial hubs. A private-use strip can be included with a property that has its own runway. Private use is shown separately from ownership. Airport transient tie-down or hangar flags do not establish guest parking at a stay.
Straight-line distance
We calculate miles from the FAA airport reference point to a matched property point or a checked street address. We use OpenStreetMap data where a match is available, with a source recorded for manual property-point corrections. A town center is never used as a substitute.
Distances are rounded to one decimal place. They are straight-line measurements, not walking routes, driving routes or travel times. If a property point is unresolved, the listing has no distance or property coordinates.
Map data: OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License.
Dates and changes
The stay check date, FAA effective date and location check date are recorded separately. Rebuilding a page does not refresh its content date. We plan to re-check stay facts every six months and review the FAA cycle before launch.
Use the linked source to confirm current arrangements. Confirm runway, PPR (Prior Permission Required) and parking with the airport before flying. Report a correction when a detail has changed.
