Are you talking about runway extensions?

Because if so, i would also like to know why I cant get runway extensions for 52F my home airport.

Re: How to add Airport Runway not included in the database?

Hi Blake,

We get our airport and runway information directly from the FAA. The reason why there are no runway extensions for 52F is because the FAA doesn't publish the geographic coordinates of 52F's runway. If you look at the runway information on AirNav (http://www.airnav.com/airport/52F) you will not see any latitude or longitude for the runway. Compare this with another airport, like KLAX (http://www.airnav.com/airport/KLAX) and you will see that all runways have a latitude and longitude coordinate. We need these coordinates in order to draw runway extensions.

We will consider making it possible to add this missing information yourself in a future version of the app, but I can't provide a timeline for when that might happen.

Cheers,
Mike
