Proposal
The key aerodrome=* should be used to classify aerodromes according to their importance and purpose.
The following categories are proposed:
- A national or international airport for passengers or freight. It is suitable for large aircraft and has appropriate facilities.
- An smaller aerodrome that offers facilities like terminal building, tower and fuelling. It is used by sports aircraft, passenger aircraft and business aircraft. If a small aerodrome is close to a border and there are also flights across the border, it should still not be used
aerodrome=international, it depends more on the maximum take-off weight.
- An airfield mainly intended for gliders. Small motorized aircraft can also take off to tow the gliders up into the air.
Rationale
Aerodromes are categorized inconsistently with aerodrome:type=* or aerodrome=*. I propose using only the form aerodrome=*. Sometimes aerodrome:type=* is in the majority, but the form without :type is very common in OSM and should be preferred. Some examples of this are industrial=*, museum=*, memorial=*, information=* and more.
- Statistic
| old tag | count | new tag | count |
|---|---|---|---|
| aerodrome:type=international | 464 | aerodrome=international | 551 |
| aerodrome:type=regional | 494 | aerodrome=regional | 127 |
| aerodrome:type=gliding | 175 | aerodrome=gliding | 39 |
In future, a different symbol could then be shown in maps.
