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 facilites 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.</font></p> <p><font size="4"><br> <font size="5">Sample Map</font></font></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="707"><img src="Africa%20East.png" width="773" height="764"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="707"><font size="5">Diversion Scenario</font> <p><font size="4">If such a diversion becomes necessary, the first port of call in most modern airliners would be blue circles on the HSI moving map display with ICAO 4 letter codes. On types such as the 757 these merely indicate the presence of a runway in excess of 1500m. No other information is given. Also, the coverage is probably less than 70% of what is really down there. Items we would like to know about would include the length, number and bearing strength of runways. Also what type of instrument approach is available. Is the airport open? Does it have fuel and/or customs? Other factors which are more operator specific, but no less important, would include availability of airfield charts and airfield performance data on board. To this it would also be advantageous if one's own airline, or alliance member (eg oneworld) was a regular visitor.</font></p> <p><font size="4">To answer all these questions could involve reaching for a multitude of manuals at a time of probable high workload. Hence these maps. All these questions are answered by referring to this one document. These maps cover the entire globe, and are grouped into areas, namely Europe, Americas, Asia, Australia/Pacific and Africa. Each map is paired with a table which gives secondary data.</font></p> <p><font size="4">The author, Neil Scarrow has been a Pilot with a major European airline for over 10 years.
