AERODROME_TYPE DAFIF_A An active civil <AERODROME> controlled and operated by civil authorities primarily for use by civil <AIRCRAFT>, although military may have landing privileges and/or contract rights; DAFIF A. Minimum facilities are available that include: <CONTROL_TOWER> (or some similar control <SYSTEM>, such as a FSS that issues clearances and advisories when there is no <CONTROL_TOWER> or the <CONTROL_TOWER> is not in operation), <AERODROME_LIGHTING> (for example: flare pots), POL, and <AIRCRAFT>s for organizational maintenance, or better. 4 PR [DAFIF, Sec. 201.A.14.a, A]  
STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE DAFIF_B An active <AERODROME> jointly controlled, used, and/or operated by both civil and military agencies; DAFIF B. The military agencies are permanent operational flight line type tenants with, or without, <AIRCRAFT> stationed on the <AERODROME>. Facilities are the same as for civil (<<<DAFIF_A>>> type) <AERODROME>s. 5 PR [DAFIF, Sec. 201.A.14.a, B]  
STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE DAFIF_C An active military <AERODROME> controlled and operated by military authorities primarily for use by military <AIRCRAFT>, although civil <AIRCRAFT> may have landing privileges and/or contract rights; DAFIF C. Facilities are the same as for civil (<<<DAFIF_A>>> type) <AERODROME>s. 6 PR [DAFIF, Sec. 201.A.14.a, C]  
STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE DAFIF_D An active <AERODROME> having permanent surface <RUNWAY>s with less than the minimum facilities required for civil (<<<DAFIF_A>>> type) <AERODROME>s; DAFIF D. For the United States, the FAA term "inactive" is incorporated into this category. 7 PR [DAFIF, Sec. 201.A.14.a, D]

STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE GENERAL_AVIATION Designated for light and/or general aviation <AIRCRAFT> operations only. 9 IR [FACC, Annex B, APT:3]  
STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE GLIDER Designated for the take-off and landing of glider <AIRCRAFT>. 10 IR [S57A, Attribute, CATAIR:5]  
STD

STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE MAJOR_AERODROME A major (controlled) <AERODROME> that has an operating <CONTROL_TOWER>. Air traffic control is responsible for providing for the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic at <AIRPORT>s where the type of operations and/or volume of traffic requires such a service. Pilots operating from a controlled <AIRPORT> are required to maintain two-way radio communication with air traffic controllers, and to acknowledge and comply with their instructions. 15 IR [FACC, Annex B, APT:1]  
STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE MICROLIGHT Designated for microlight or ultralight <AIRCRAFT>. 16 IR [FACC, Annex B, APT:6] [S57A, Attribute, CATAIR:6]
STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE MINOR_AERODROME A minor (uncontrolled) <AERODROME> that does not have an operating <CONTROL_TOWER>. Two-way radio communications are not required, although it is a good operating practice for pilots to transmit their intentions on the specified <<FREQUENCY>> for the benefit of other traffic in the vicinity. 17 IR [FACC, Annex B, APT:2]  
STD
2005/06/07
AERODROME_TYPE PARASCENDING Designated for parascending or parasailing <AIRCRAFT>. 18 IR [FACC, Annex B, APT:13]

AERODROME_TYPE WINCH_LAUNCHED_HANG-
_GLIDER
Designated for the winch-launching of hang glider <AIRCRAFT>. 21 IR [FACC, Annex B, APT:8]
