Hello Andreas,
Yes, probably. But where did this key/value come from? In my look at the 366,017 records of a few days ago, I do not recall seeing any tags like this. Are they in fact emergency helipads by another name? Are they related to aeroway = helipad or leisure = common? What are the criteria for selecting them? There appear to be thousands.
Oops, now I see that they are not even in Nepal. Does each project have its own set of terminology? Are we certain that some emergency landing sites were not given different tags by different mappers as this "flexibility" seems to be viewed as beneficial.
To me this just demonstrates the chaotic nature of the tagging scheme, little consistency or documentation. However, if it appears to work then it works.
