Those shorter than 8062 feet are in circles, those longer than 8062 feet are shown as just the shape of the runways. What's significant about 8062 feet? Various pilots and flight instructors I have talked to don't seem to know. Pleae copy to my address, as I am not presently on Maps-L. Many thanks. --- End Forwarded Message ---
