How to Contribute

Overview

Any member of the community may contribute this sector file so long as:

The data provided is factual and realistic.

Adding airports layouts ("SMRs")

Ground layouts can be created by anyone simply by using Google Earth's polygon and line tools (see ATC Operations tools link above).

Create each feature of the airport individually in the following order, first = lowest:

Boundary/grass outline - (encompass the entire airfield with this)
Parking positions
Taxiways
Runways
Aprons
Buildings These Polygon drawings create the TFL file
Stands lines
Taxiway lines
Stop bar lines The create the GEO file

You do not need to add taxiway or holding point labels.

Do not update:

Fixes, NDBs, VORs
SIDs, STARs, IAPs
Airways
ARPs
Airport Gates

We get this information automatically from AIRAC updates, this is administered by ATC Operations and any issues identified should be raised directly with the ATC Operations Assistant Coordinator.
