Template:US-airport2/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

This template can be used for any U.S. airport which has a 3-letter FAA location identifier and a 4-letter ICAO airport code. It is designed for airports where {{US-airport}} doesn't work because the ICAO code is not "K" followed by the FAA identifier. For airports that do not meet these criteria, try one of the other US-airport templates listed in the See also section below.

To use this on an airport page, add the following under the "External links" section, replacing XXX with the airport's 3-letter FAA location identifier and YYYY with the 4-letter ICAO airport code.

{{US-airport2|XXX|YYYY}}

For most U.S. airports, the 3-letter FAA code is the same as the 3-letter IATA airport code. For those where they are different, the template supports a third parameter. In the following example, ZZZ represents the 3-letter IATA code:

{{US-airport2|XXX|YYYY|ZZZ}}

For U.S. airports which do not have an IATA code, use:

{{US-airport2|XXX|YYYY|-}}

[edit]

{{US-airport}}

  • Displays the same links as {{US-airport2}}, but assumes that you can prepend "K" to the FAA code to derive the 4-letter ICAO code (works for most airports in the continental United States).

{{US-airport-ga}}

  • This template provides all the same links as {{US-airport}} except the FAA delays for scheduled flights. Usually airports that don't have this information are used for general aviation (GA), thus the template's name.

{{US-airport-minor}}

  • Use this for airports which have an FAA location identifier containing numbers or do not have an ICAO airport code. These are generally minor general aviation airports. The template excludes those links which do not work for the majority of these airports.

{{US-airport-mil}}

  • Use this for U.S. military airports, such as Air Force Bases, Army Airfields and Naval Air Stations. This template only includes links that work for most military airports.
