Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is San Carlos's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

San Carlos Airport Runway Diagram Print
San Carlos Airport (SQL) has one runway, and the print hands it the full diagonal of the sheet. Runway 12/30 measures 2621 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface, on a field sitting just 6 feet above sea level. That single strip runs upper left to lower right, the 12 threshold labeled high on the page and the 30 threshold labeled low, with no second runway to compete with it.
Around that line, the taxiways and hangar area do most of the visual work. Slim taxiway rectangles stack along both sides of the runway, and tight rows of hangars fill the upper right of the sheet in parallel bars. The result reads as one clean line with a dense ribbon of geometry hung off it, which is why the layout holds up as artwork at wall scale: a viewer across the room reads the diagonal, and a viewer up close reads the hangar rows.
The geometry is plotted from published airport information, so the piece works as a record of the field as much as a graphic. Elevation, coordinates and the SQL identifier sit quietly in the lower corner, which leaves the diagram itself uncluttered. Nearby fields at Palo Alto and San Francisco are drawn in the same style, so a small group of them hangs together well on one wall.
San Carlos (SQL) print, common questions
How many runways does San Carlos Airport have?
One. Runway 12/30 is the only runway at SQL, and it is 2621 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. The print shows it as a single diagonal strip with taxiways and hangar rows worked around it.
Where is SQL and how high is the field?
San Carlos Airport is in San Carlos, California, at roughly 37.5119 degrees north and 122.2495 degrees west. Field elevation is 6 feet, and that figure is printed in small type in the lower corner of the artwork.
What does the code SQL mean?
SQL is the three letter identifier for San Carlos Airport in California, and KSQL is its four letter ICAO equivalent. The large type on the print uses SQL, the code most pilots and locals actually say out loud.
How accurate is the diagram?
The layout follows published runway data for San Carlos, including the 12/30 designators and the proportions of the runway against its taxiways and apron. It is a stylized diagram, so fine details may be simplified or omitted. Painted markings, lighting and signage are the usual examples.
What sizes and finishes can I get?
The artwork is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose; the download is a file you print yourself.
Is this a good gift for a San Carlos pilot?
It suits anyone with hours in the pattern at SQL, trained there, or keeps an aircraft in one of those hangar rows. The single 12/30 diagonal is instantly recognizable to people who know the field, and the codes and coordinates make the reference clear to everyone else.
