caption_attribution_description: Sample page of Airport/Facilities Directory, taken from the FAA publication FAA-H-8083-25, the "Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge" (http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aviation/pilot_handbook/media/faa-h-8083-25-3of4.pdf)
context_page_description: The Airport/Facility Directory, now identified as Chart Supplement in the U.S., is a pilot’s manual that provides comprehensive information on airports, large and small, and other aviation facilities and procedures.
context_section_description: This sample page shows the entry for a small airport, Forrest City Municipal, in Arkansas (click on the image for a clearer view).
  The airport's FAA location identifier is FCY. It is 4 nautical miles (7.4 km) south of the city, its time zone is UTC-6 (UTC−5 in summer), and the geographical coordinates of its Airport Reference Point (ARP) are 34°56.52′N 90°46.50′W. It can be found on the Memphis VFR Sectional chart, and the low-level en route chart 14F. It has at least one Instrument Approach Procedure, which is described elsewhere.
  The airport’s elevation (at the ARP) is 249 feet (76 m), it has a rotating beacon at night ("B"), and both 100-octane avgas ("100LL") and jet fuel are available although there is no mechanical servicing facility. There is one runway, 18–36 (that is, approximately magnetic north-south); it is hard-surfaced using asphalt, 3,014 feet (919 m) long and 50 feet (15 m) wide, and can bear aircraft with single-wheel landing gear up to 20,000 pounds. There is medium intensity runway lighting. Runway 36 (oriented north) has trees obstructing its approach. Free-text remarks follow.
  There is no control tower; the common communications frequency is 122.8 MHz. The associated Flight Service Station is Jonesboro, with the telephone number and "Notices to Airmen" file code noted. Radar-assisted approach and departure control are provided by Memphis Center on 135.3 MHz.
  Associated navigational installations are the Gilmore low-altitude VOR on 113.0 MHz (channel 77 for military operations), with an identifier of GQE, at the location indicated, and a non-directional beacon on 332 kHz, identified by FCY, on the airfield. This beacon is not monitored by the FAA for continuous operation during the hours shown.
  Finally a sketch map provides a visual orientation of the airport’s layout and nearby obstructions, primarily trees.
