The Data Loader tool can be used to import data from a different schema based on the mappings defined in a cross-reference mapping file. One example where this is useful is the AMDB (DO-272C or ED-99C) and Airports data models. In this scenario, most of the feature class names are similar, but not exactly the same. Below is a table that indicates which AMDB feature class imports into each Airports feature class.
