BTW: there are a lot of optional startup locations defined in
apt.dat:

  $ zgrep "^15 " fgfs/Base/Airports/apt.dat.gz|wc -l
  5873

The problem is, that they have an ugly format:

  15 <lat> <lon> <hdg> <name>

where <name> seems to be totally free and without rules.
Some examples are "Custom Startup Location", "Startup",
"Anchor", "Ramp", "Gate A 1", "East Mil cargo Ramp 65",
"249.660" (huh?), "Plataforma 1" (oh, plataforma ...),
etc.

There should be a <type> number before the <name>. Sigh.
