Rationale
Like highways there are severals sizes of airports. Like in Highway (primary, secondary, tertiary) there should be made a differenc by size (airport = major, minor, landingfield) as on highways thers are different types of vehicles (highway = foot, bicycle, car motorcycle, or even horse), on airports there are airliners, (smaller) propeller planes, gliders, helicopters, and even rc model planes. Now every Airport / Airdrome /Landingfield is rendered the same way. I think it makes a difference, whether we have major Airports like Frankfurt International or some smaller glider landingfield The tag should be tagged with the node airway= aerodrome with
- Airport
- = major (for international Airports like Frankfurt or London Heathrow e.a.)
- = minor (for smaller Airports) in Germany they are call Regionalflughafen (regional airports)
- = landingfield (for smaller airports with no or few scheduled flights
- = airstrip (as the lowest class of a landing place, sometimes only bush pilots know where they are.)
For airports there could additional be the tags:
- airliner = yes/no for jet_airliners and bigger propeller-driven aircraft
- propeller = yes/no (for smaller (sport)aircrafts for max.10 people)
- glider= yes/no
- heli = yes/no
- seaplane= yes/no
- model= yes/no
- Because of the aircrafts landing on major Airports symbol should be
- Because of the aircrafts landing on minor Airports but less importance symbol should be
- Symbols for landingfileds (normaly
) should be the symbol belonging to the highest plantyp in the list, if there are landing smaller propeller aircrafts (Tag propeller=yes) AND gliders, symbol should be the one for propeller
As on highways (nobody would expect horse=yes for primary roads) airport could also go without the planetypes, only special landingfields had to be given a tag like seaplane or glider. Otherwise it is suposed to be a landingfield for smaller propeller aircrafts. Major and Minor is suposed to be an airport for airliners.
There has to be made a new symbol for model (rc model flight)
Rendering
like in Proposed features/Aerodrome (unified symbol set)
