AOPA Italy's website http://www.aopa.it [1] has added a new feature that will be of great interest to all IAOPA Europe members, writes AOPA-Italy president Massimo Levy.

Under the 'utilities' menu we have uprated the 'Google maps' page that allows pilots to visualise satellite images of more than 10.000 aerodromes around the world.



The satellite images are obtained thanks to an integration of Google with the airport geographical coordinates taken from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (http://www.nga.mil [2]). Using the scaling tools o­n the left of the picture you can change the size of the image and study the smallest details. It is possible to search for airports by country or to make direct searches by inserting the ICAO identifier or FAA host ID, the IATA ID or the city or airfield name.
