I reviewed the subject airport imports in southern CA.
I'm surprised that there were only 16 imports in bbox=-122,33,-115,38 given the mentioned 23000 nodes total. Must be other parts of the world that were not well-covered?
They are all private facilities, and I tagged them access=private. This is probably why they were missing from earlier imports to begin with. One of the heliport was non-existent, while others were mis-placed by up to 100m. Also, none of them had identifiers (probably as a result of being small, private facilities unknown to ICAO & IATA), though I was able to find FAA identifiers for them.
There is a lot more useful info available in the FAA datasheets, like runway elevations/slopes/weight limits, airport elevation, magnetic variation, fuels, etc. Is anyone interested in or working on this? It would be relatively simple to scrape from the FAA datasheets or imports them from their dataset if available.
