Aerodrome Reference Code

[Kriekos]

Hi,

In my dictionary the Aerodrome Reference Code is a way of classifying aircrafts so that aerodromes can be designed as such that they can accept certain of those classes of aircrafts.
My question: does anyone know where one can find the Aerodrome Reference Code of a specific aerodrome? If it's in the AIP, please specify exactly where.

I thought the ARC could be an easy way to determine whether the aircraft that you're flying can operate at a specific aerodrome. Is that correct? If no, what is the quickest way (f.e. in an emergency) to check if an aerodrome is suited for your aircraft?

Thanks in advance.
