Hi all,

surfing across the web i discovered a useful page concerning airfiel maps .... They are free of charge and rather useful (at least for me).
 
"These maps show the locations and facilities of all airfields worldwide that are capable of handling commercial jet aircraft. For each area, primary information is provided on a map, with supplementary data shown in a table. For an individual airfield, the map shows ICAO code, local beacon, best IFR approach, H24 availability and number of runways. The maps also show distances between neighbouring airports, selected airways, national borders and some geographical features. The tables supplement the maps by giving more specific information about the runways (direction, landing distance, bearing strength, IFR approach), and also airfield facilities (Rescue Fire Firefighting category, availability of jet fuel and customs, ATIS frequency).
 
These maps are primarily aimed at commerical pilots, to increase situational awareness during the flight. Happily, at least 99% of flights arrive at their intended destination. However, occasionally the outcome is different, be it due to some technical or passenger related problem en-route, or weather or congestion at destination. Hence, knowledge of what alternate airfields are available during the flight is highly desirable. These maps will allow pilots to gain a fairly detailed picture of the facilities around them throughout the course of the flight. They also enable a quick assessment of the options available, if a diversion becomes necessary, in what will almost certainly be an already busy flight deck."
