Flagler County Airport is a county-owned public-use airport located three miles (5 km) east of the central business district of Bunnell, a city in Flagler County, Florida, United States. The airport's former FAA location identifiers were X47 and XFL.〔 The airfield was originally constructed by the United States Navy during World War II as Naval Outlying Field Bunnell (NOLF Bunnell), an auxiliary airfield for flight training operations originating from nearby Naval Air Station Jacksonville, NAS Daytona Beach and NAS DeLand. Following the end of the war, the airfield was transferred from the Navy to Flagler County for use as a general aviation airport. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data, the airport ranks as the fourth busiest in Florida, out of 105 General Aviation airports, with 190,000 takeoff and landings per year. This is primarily due to its use as a practice field by students from nearby Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, adjacent to Daytona Beach International Airport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】FAA Data Reference )〕 Due to the increase in air traffic, the Flagler County Airport now has an FAA Level 1 Contract Air Traffic Control Tower that operates from 7am - 9pm, 365 days per year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Tower Operating Hours )〕 Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Flagler County Airport is assigned FIN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.〔(Great Circle Mapper: KFIN - Bunnell, Florida (Flagler County Airport) )〕 == Facilities and aircraft == Flagler County Airport covers an area of which contains two paved runways, one seaplane landing area and one helipad:〔 * Runway 6/24: 5,000 x 100 ft (1,524 x 30 m), Surface: Asphalt * Runway 11/29: 4,999 x 100 ft (1,524 x 30 m), Surface: Asphalt * Runway 18W/36W: 3,000 x 500 ft (914 x 152 m), Surface: Water * Helipad H1: 36 x 36 ft (11 x 11 m), Surface: Concrete/Gravel For the 12-month period ending May 7, 2002, the airport had 190,010 aircraft operations, an average of 520 per day: 99.9% general aviation and <0.1% military.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flagler County Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
