iFly GPS Forum

What do I do if I find an airport (a heliport in this case) that is on the sectional, but not within the iFly database?

The heliport in question is shown on the sectional as TX26, and that heliport shows up on AirNav.com... but it's not in the iFly database, nor can it be found via the Text Search.

(In this case, it's not that important to me but it did make me wonder what I would do if I found one that was important.)

Nope.  26TX is "Lowrance Ranch".

The sectional on iFly shows it as "TX26" and it's in AirNav as "TX26".

To go to the source:  The latest sectional downloaded from the FAA website (https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/vfr/), for San Antonio (San_Antonio_104_P.pdf), shows it exactly as it's shown on iFly's sectional, as TX26.

Lat/long (according to AirNav):  30.3129000,-97.7594333

If I click on the "H", I get a pop-up box but it's not for a heliport (see attached).  If I click "Search Nearby...", then the heliport doesn't show up on the list.  The lat/long shown at the top is almost identical to what's provided in AirNav.

Like I said... this particular heliport (to me) is not a big deal.  I just wanted to know -- if it happens to me again, with a more important piece of geodata -- the procedure to report an airport (or similar) that should be in the iFly database, but isn't (like this one).

As info, I started looking around and it appears that heliports and gliderports aren't included in the database, at least the two other heliports I could find and 5 or 6 gliderports. YMMV.
