CifpEnrouteAirway

Enroute airway route segments defining the fixes, courses, distances, and altitudes along named airways in ARINC 424 Section ER records

Source: CIFPTable: CIFP_ENROUTE_AIRWAYVersion: 239462ba9c35 (effective 2026-04-16)

Each row represents one fix/waypoint along an enroute airway. Courses are stored as scaled integers (divide by 10 to get degrees). Distances are stored as scaled integers (divide by 10 to get nautical miles). Altitudes are stored as 5-digit integers in feet MSL.
