Importing AAFIF sources by airfield name

The Ancillary Source Loader imports features from various National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) sources into feature classes in a geodatabase.

For AAFIF data, the Ancillary Source Loader utilizes the MS Access database provided on TFAD CD-ROM from NGA to create three feature classes from the AAFIF database: point airports, line runways, and area runways.

The feature classes can be created in a new or existing geodatabase.
