Geocache Description:


Cache not at Posted Coordinates!

Cache is on airport property and all you need is the airport aita letters XXXX in certitude for the final coordinate

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
  • Airport codes are divided into two sets: IATA codes (three letters) for passenger operations and ICAO codes (four letters) for industry use.
  • IATA codes are determined based on how the airport wants to identify itself and the availability of the letter combination.
    • How the airport wishes to identify itself
    • The availability of that letter combination (to ensure there are no duplicates)
      • Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport (AMS)
      • Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas International Airport (MAD)
      • Mexico City International Airport (MEX)
  • ICAO codes can differ from their corresponding IATA codes and follow a more rigid structure based on an airport's geography and region.
    • Determining ICAO codes

      ICAO's four-letter location indicators range from being slightly different from the corresponding IATA code to not at all the same. Regarding those that are relatively similar, this typically involves having the additional letter first, which indicates the region of the aerodrome. Here are some examples:

    • All continental US airports begin with the letter K: KLAX, KJFK, KORD - these correspond with LAX, JFK, and ORD, respectively.
    • Canadian airports begin with C: CYVR, CYYZ, and CYUL, corresponding to their IATA codes of YVR, YYZ, and YUL, respectively.
    • As you can see in these cases, the IATA code is simply the ICAO code minus the first letter. However, since one region can have multiple countries, and only North America has its own breakdowns, it's a bit more complicated.

 

 

 

Cache container is not at the airport, but it is on the way there.

Welcome to the Little Falls Area! We have a series of caches dedicated to the people that have and are making the area a great part of the Minnesota quilt. These caches are placed under the name TeamGeoPilot in honor of our team of Cache Hiders! Enjoy and hopefully you will all be Little Falls experts after you search these out.
