Looking for help finding your DZ! Not USA.

Recommended Posts

Heya all,

I'm looking for some help to pin all the DZs in my database on a map. I have already looked up all the DZs in the US so please do not flood this thread with updates from the USA.

Here's what I'm looking for:

1) Latitude/Longitude in decimal degrees (eg. -65.76978 +45.90890)
2) ICAO code (this is your international airport identifier)
3) DZ Name
4) Country
5) Airport name

I will need at least:1) OR 2) as well as 3) and 4)

Post to this thread. Please do not post unless you are providing this information. If anyone out there happens to have all this info for any country feel free to send it my way. :)

OK, Byron is at N37 50.083", W121 37.993'

Eloy is at N32 48.322', W111 34.862"

Lodi is at N38 11.958', W121 15.881'

Skydive San Diego (Otay) is at N32 38.088', W116 53.247'

Davis/Skydance is at N38 35.093', W121 51.103'

Z-Hills is at N28 13.150, W082 09.101'

And that's all I got. I don't always have my GPS V with me, but I do like to map my dropzones.

Why thank you, Sagiro-san, I would love a premiere membership when they become available!

You so nice!

is there a website where you could get this kind of information?...

Never mind found it...http://www.airrouting.com/content/airportloc.html



There are plenty of sites actually. You can also try:

http://www.airnav.com/
http://www.landings.com/

.... and a few others.

The problem is often making the connection between the airport and the DZ, and then getting the ICAO code for the airport with the DZ. After that, looking up lat/lng is pretty easy. :)
Thnaks to those who've posted info!

all UK Latitude and Longitudes for each DZ are available at http://www.bpa.org.uk/dropzone/dzone.htm



Hey - I've seen this, but those are actually pretty confusing... to me anyways!

For starters the BPA gives Headcorn as:
Longitude & latitude: 510925N 0003902E

I suspect that's actually the other way round. It's latitude and then longitude the way they posted it.

Here's the same Headcorn listing from Landings.com:
Latitude: 51° 9' 27" North Longitude: 0° 38' 24" East

Now look at their longitude again (from the BPA site). If I had to try and place the minutes and seconds in there I would have ended up with:

Longitude: 00° 03' 90" East

...which is of course very different! Maybe a pilot can tell me what to make of a lat/lng that's written like they do on the BPA site. Am I supposed to read it from left to right with 2 numbers for each reading except the last, or is there some other way?

Thanks a lot everyone... keep them coming! :)
BTW - We found a pretty comprehensive list of ICAOs all over the world... with lat/lng values! Very neat. So, we can create the relationship between ICAOs and lat/lng values. To me the most valuable thing now is simply the ICAO of your DZ airport. B|
