Local Area Airport Diagrams
 
    Before going to some of the larger airports it is good to have a good diagram of the layout.  Taxiing around a large unfamiliar airport can be very confusing once you have landed and are trying to figure out where to go.  Here are some PDF files below that would be great for you to download and review before going.  Keep them handy with you (like on your kneeboard) for when you get on the ground and are taxiing to your parking destination.

    AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association) has a website that has a vast amount of resources available to pilots.  Some of it you can access without a membership but I have found the membership to include services worth the fee.  If you have not already joined AOPA I highly recommend it.
