Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) have an Australian database of around 2200 airstrips and airports although not all are in use or are certified for use by the RFDS.These range from - Domestic/intl airports with regular commuter flights, - Local council run airfields like Colac and

Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

I'd say there is zero chance that any fixed wing aircraft have used that strip in the past year. It's closed to fixed wing craft, and it's absolutely not safe for use. If it is approved redevelopment (it's NPWS land, not council) it will likely be redeveloped with only a single paved runway. My

Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

I think if there's some kind of distinguishable boundary from the imagery it's okay to convert to an area, even if it's approximate. There's not too much harm since you can always take the centroid if you prefer a node. On Fri, 27 Dec 2019 at 20:59, Nemanja Bračko wrote: > Hi, > > I have

Hi, I have redefined my query: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/PfU Are you okay to manually add polygons around the airports only if they have *iata* or *icao* tags? Thanks, Nemanja On Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 9:39 AM Warin <61sundow...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 27/12/19 16:55, Graeme Fitzpatrick wrote:

Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

Thanks everyone for replying to this thread. @Berjo, as I've noted in my first email we do not have any other signals at the moment except imagery, and except for NSW where we have a base map. @others, is it okay to make a polygon when we can recognize tarmac on a airstrip and when we can

Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

Hi Nemanja, It is worth noting that most airports/aerodromes in regional areas of Australia do not have control towers as they are centrally operated by Air Services Australia from one of 3 sites using remote cameras and such. The presence or absence of a control tower should therefore not be

Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

I agree with Warin's comments. Some years ago someone did a mass import from a public-domain website with "airport" information. Personally I think of an airport as a location which is accessible to the public and which offers regular commercial flights. Most of the "airports" shown in

Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

Many of these 'airports' have no effective boundary and are best represented by a node. Some are 'operated' by the local council and the council owns a large area of land around the 'airport'. Some may be 'operated by the local station (in American 'ranch') and they may own some 100s of

Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

Yes. We do not have other signals. It is possible to miss official bounding box (when it is hard to see fence or when there is no fence at all), but it will be close enough and it will represent airport area. I could see that couple of airports have really rough approximation of the boundaries.

Re: [talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

Hi. That seems like a good idea. How will you know the bounds of the airport? Just from aerial photos? - Ben. On Wed, 25 Dec 2019 at 22:28, Nemanja Bracko (E-Search) via Talk-au < talk-au@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > > > We would like to manually add polygons around airports

[talk-au] Adding polygons of the aerodromes

Hi everyone, We would like to manually add polygons around airports in whole Australia. We have added polygons for very few airports that were marked just with a single node. By using THIS OverPass-Turbo link, you can see that there are nearly 1,200 airports
