Wrong airport code. It's YEG for Edmonton International Airport, and LAX for Los Angeles.
Actually it is CYEG as the official ICAO ident........ but I know all airlines use the navaid(YEG) identifier on boarding pass, baggage clains etc.. But as you know, ya gotta use CYEG to load up a STAR(RNAV) and an approach

For publication( CAP Enroute Charts ,JEPP, AC and database producers etc) and operational( ATC,FSS) ICAO assigns idents for airports not IATA. Minor point I know but Aeronautical Information was my former life.YULdude wrote:NPS,
I think IATA uses 3 letter idents, so YEG could also be correct...
Thks
Hey Edmonton is my home and for me that's YXD, always has and always will be, so much for political correctness..
The Edmonton Internation Airport is YEG which is between Nisku and Leduc. So there take that..
Hey cyyz that's exactly what happened I should have checked the submission before hitting submit but I didn't..Pretty stupid on my part and a lesson well learned.
