Hi Folks,
You also need to consider how you deal with emergency road airstrips
which are pretty common in Australia
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=16/-31.8969/127.6186
There now exists tagging for them
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:aeroway%3Dhighway_strip
I think the given example is poor. The 'name' is more of a description.
Nothing to say this is an emergency strip only - the local cops need to
remove roadside signs and posts for aircraft to land.. and they need to
close the highway. The highway lacks the correct tags...
Note I have never seen any of them on an unpaved road, I would think the
RFDS would request the road section be paved, and the local council
would be hard put to say no.
In general I would say that many of the outback strips wont appear on
other mapping software (certainly not Apple maps) as they often wont
even have roads in some of these areas.
Maybe mapping threshold to threshold and the graded area will be
enough in most cases.

I think just map the runway aeroway=runway usually with surface=unpaved
- no airport boundaries, just use the node for the 'airport'.
Node: Katoomba Airfield (1042094263) is a little difficult.
The person who use to run the airfield died. The new lot have caused
some controversy with their plans ..

I expect it is fairly busy now with the fire fighting going on.
Cheers - Phil

@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.
So this would only be NSW?
No, we would like to add across AU. For the rest of the
states/territories we would use aerial imagery only.
@others, is it okay to make a polygon when we can recognize
tarmac on a airstrip and when we can clearly see start and the
end of the runway (zebras at the beginning and at the end)?
But not all airfields / strips are tarmac, with runway markings!
We know that, just want to establish base line what is acceptable to
all of you to be marked as a polygon.
Where a polygon cannot reasonably be determined usually the runway/s can
be made out - so just map the runways.
Do you need to draw a polygon? Wouldn't just a runway marking with
attached node suffice?
We can see all other competitors have polygons in most cases (not
all), so we want to increase the value of OSM maps as well. We are not
keen to just blindly add polygons, so this is the reason why we are
asking all of you.
Thanks,
Nemanja
