Source: CDM Smith. Prepared September 2013. Notes: Data collected for calendar year 2012. Airports with significant jet fuel sales that did not report specific jet fuel quantities are marked with 10,000+. Airports reporting less than 10,000 gallons of Jet‐A fuel sold are not indicated as having Jet‐A fuel for purposes of the classification flowchart. *This airport sells jet fuel, but annual volume sold in 2012 did not exceed 10,000 gallons. **FAA sources currently report a runway length of 4,999’. The airport is in the process of having the reported length revised to 5,000’. N/A – Not applicable Approaches: P – Precision approach (instrument landing system) APV – Approach with vertical guidance (GPS approach) NP – Non‐precision approach (any straight‐in approach without vertical guidance) C – Circling approach (any approach not aligned with the runway) V – Visual approach (no instrument approach procedure)
