Notice: The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has removed
DAFIF™, FLIP, and ECHUM data from the NGA public web site effective
October 1, 2006. Department of Defense (DoD) customers are able to
access DAFIF™, FLIP information, and ECHUM by accessing the NGA's web
site on the NIPRNet. The NGA NIPRNet site, in accordance with a number
of DoD directives, is Public Key Enabled (PKE); meaning that the site is
encrypted using the DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

John Leibacher has informed me that Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange
has the current US airport (but not airspace) database in CAI, WinPilot,
SeeYou, Strepla, and other formats. This data has been made available
through the support of Paul Remde:

Can somebody explain the food chain that leads to U.S. airspace files,
for my own use I care about SeeYou's .CUB.
How will lack of DAFIF availability affect SeeYou redistribution in
their .CUB files. Will people roll over to the FAA's NFD? I was
curious and know the FAA requires a license agreement (and fee) for
access to NFD data but I could not find a copy of the agreement -
anybody know what redistribution it allows?

For that matter how much of what Jepp sells is sourced from DAFIF? How
will that affect Jepp databases on portable Garmins GPS?

Sigh our tax dollars at work again.... the story from the NGA seems
pretty disingenuous, with them blaming anything that moves for their
actions including those pesky copyright seeking Australians, and I
think any terrorist who cares to can mail order their charts from
Sporty's, or look up VFR stuff on Sky Vector, or use Google Earth,
or ...

Thanks


Darryl
