Hello,
If the position of the front wheel is clearly identified on the ground,
I'm in favor for a node. But in reality there is often more than one
position, since depending on the Aircraft model the position of the
front wheel can differ. Would be great to clarify in the wiki if the
recommendation is one node per position/model (then suggest a tag to
specify the model? This is often painted on the ground next to the
position), or only put the last one which can be reached, or... Or use
an area.
If no discrete position can be identified (or having more than one node
is not desired, see above), I think an area would be more accurate than
a way.
Also, I would tag the path leading to the parking position with
something else than taxiway since they are not taxiways per say (like we
differentiate parking aisles from regular service roads). See also
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_apron . Taxilane seems to be a
valid word for that, and already in use by some in OSM, so I'm all in
for it.
Cheers,

Hi
Typically on an airport the planes parking position is marked by a
small circle, the is usually tagged with aeroway=parking_position -
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:aeroway%3Dparking_position. I
believe this should only be a node, not a way.
Some have mapped the planes path leading to the parking position as an
aeroway=parking_position, I think it would be better to tag it with
aeroway=taxiway or (low usage so may not render) taxilane.

Thoughts???
