Slim,

In the airline I flew for we had folders containing all the charts for our destination and alternate airfields - many of the alternates were also destinations, eg. Boston for New York.

We also had another manual containing emergency airfields with information on which could be used by which aircraft types.

All of the above had information on the facilities available.

Then there was also a section containing what I would call 'Oh My God' airfields (the categorisation was more formal than that). These were airfields where it would be possible to land in a grave emergency but probably impossible to fly the aircraft out again.

All of this information was provided on a worldwide basis, subdivided into main regions.
