Is there any good source for determining where cargo areas are at airports? It seems airport diagrams don't always show them.

Search the forum for a post from Craig Applegate, our Dir of Flight Ops who also happens to work for Polar. He listed some parking areas used at airports around the world.

I once sent an e-mail to Polar asking for the info. Never even did get a no. I guess some company are nicer to VA's than others. :cry:

David I don,t know what programme you use for Charts etc, but I use NDAC which has a great many Airports in its DATABASE, when I go into the programme searching for the Charts to a Particular Airport ,as well as the usual SID/STARS, ILS for each r/way etc etc , they have APSI charts which give you an overview of the Taxiways and Parking Areas inc PAX and Cargo Terminals.
