IFR plates: city name rather than Airport name

[SSDD]

There are a few odd places like Orange County/John Wayne/Santa Ana, but overall, listing by city is a better system than listing by individual airports.

Rules are rules

ATL used to be called "The William B. Hartsfield Airport", so guess where it was found in the DOD approach plates? That's right, under "T", for "The".

I agree. That boils down to proper pre-flight planning. 91.103

True.

If you happen to not have internet access at the time, you'd be hard pressed to find the plates for Hartford, Conn. The identifier is BDL "Bradley", but the goddamn plate is under Windsor Locks. WTF?

My vote is listing by city names is the way to go.
