 The [[Airport Diagram Generator]] is a Java application capable of generating [[:Category:Airports|airport]] diagrams using FlightGear data only. These diagrams are [[GNU GPL]] and can be used for all kinds of purposes whether you are [[ATC]]ing or flying. The diagrams contain a schematic layout of the airport (taxiways and runways), ([[ILS]]) frequencies, navaids and so on.
