Anyone know the protocol governing airport callsigns?
For instance, why does California have some airports designated "CA##" while others are "Oscar##"
What qualifies an airport for a Kxxx callsign (in the US)? Size? Traffic volume? |

size i think. but not always... give you an example...
Rostraver airstrip in PA which has a tower (sometimes manned) and has like maybe 2 aircraft come in a week is P53 on the map...
Alternatively...
Butler Airport about 40 miles north is KBTP. No tower... same amount of aircraft...
