Indicates a place to tag landing and takeoff for free flying aircraft with additional related amenities.
- free flying in this context means: Foot launched aircraft, without motorisation.
Examples of such aircraft are:
- Hang gliding
- Paragliding
- Swift
- Rigid hang gliders such as Atos VR
This tag is only intended for "official" landings and takeoffs (as almost any large enough field could do!).
By official, is meant suitable sites for landings and takeoffs where you will usually find windsocks, information signs, parking, human maintenance and maybe first aid kits.
However, an optional tag might be used to describe an unofficial but suitable and allowed landing or take off.
How to map
The sport=free_flying attribute should always be used in combination with another (physical) feature that describes the location, in this case the takeoff or landing site as an area with leisure=pitch.
