The Pilots Touring Guide is for planning flying adventures. It provides information on destinations where a touring pilot is welcome and there are interesting things to see or people to meet.
The Guide has notes on the attractions of the property or town, its history, accommodation and phone numbers. As well as locating the airfield, the Guide indicates the availability of fuel and how to get around.
In a word, it answers the questions of ''why go there" and "what will you find when you do".
The Pilots Touring Guide is available in two different formats. Firstly, the destination information is integrated into the successful OzRunways flight planning app. Secondly, it is available to download as a PDF from this website (see below).
