CifpEnrouteWaypoint

Enroute waypoints (named fixes) used in the en route structure, corresponding to ARINC 424 Section EA records

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

These are named intersection/fix points used along airways and en route routes. Coordinates are encoded as DDMMSSss (degrees, minutes, seconds, decimal seconds) with hemisphere prefix. ICAO_CODE is typically null for enroute waypoints; ICAO_CODE_2 identifies the ICAO region.
