Template:Infobox airport/doc

Usage
}}

The following blank template includes all of the available parameter names, except for repeating names used for runways and statistics. All parameters except name are optional, however "IATA: none – ICAO: none" along with the heading "Summary" will always appear. Any unused parameters should be omitted, but can also be left blank if preferred. The use of flag icons with this infobox are discouraged.

Parameters
All parameters except name are optional.

Airport name
These parameters specify the airport name which is displayed at the top of the infobox.


 * name
 * The name of the airport in English, such as Warsaw Chopin Airport or Beijing Capital International Airport.


 * nativename
 * Airport name in a native language using Western characters (French, German, Spanish, etc.), such as Lotnisko Chopina w Warszawie.

Military airports
These optional parameters provide additional information for military airports. The parameter names are based on those used in Template:Infobox military structure. This allows the display of information from that template, without the need to include an additional infobox. See example 4 below.


 * built
 * The date when the structure was built, usually given in years.


 * used
 * The period during which the structure was in active military use, usually given in years.


 * commander
 * The current commanding officer, for structures currently in military use.


 * occupants
 * Any notable military units which occupy the structure.

Geographic coordinates
This template allows for the insertion of geographic coordinates in two different ways: you can either provide a complete Coord template in the coordinates parameter, or you can provide the individual coordinate components (degrees, minutes, seconds, etc.) in the separate parameters described below. The latter method also allows you to insert a pushpin map with an automatically-placed airport icon and label (see below).

If you use both methods, then the coordinates parameter will be used in the infobox.


 * coordinates
 * Latitude and Longitude of airport, specified using the Coord template. When entering the coordinates always ensure that the resultant map or image shows the airport. It is very easy to confuse "N" for "S" or "E" for "W". If used as shown below, this will also cause the airport to appear in Google Earth's Geographic Web Layer.
 * Example:
 * Result: 49.45444°N, 2.11278°W


 * latd
 * Latitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees.


 * latm
 * Latitude minutes. Omit or leave blank if latd has a decimal value.


 * lats
 * Latitude seconds. Omit or leave blank if latd has a decimal value.


 * latNS
 * Latitude North or South (enter N or S). Omit or leave blank if latd has a decimal value.


 * longd
 * Longitude degrees. Can also be used for decimal degrees.


 * longm
 * Longitude minutes. Omit or leave blank if longd has a decimal value.


 * longs
 * Longitude seconds. Omit or leave blank if longd has a decimal value.


 * longEW
 * Longitude East or West (enter E or W). Omit or leave blank if longd has a decimal value.


 * coordinates_type
 * Set the type parameter for the coordinates. If this parameter is omitted or left blank, the type will be set to airport. It is unlikely that you would need to change this.


 * coordinates_region
 * Set the region parameter for the coordinates. Use either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code. For example, the United Kingdom is GB, and Ontario, Canada is CA-ON.


 * coordinates_notitle
 * By default the coordinates will be displayed both in the infobox and in the title of the article. If this parameter is set to a non-empty value, the coordinates will be displayed only in the infobox.

Maps
This template provides two ways to include a map: as a simple image, or using Location map and the coordinate parameters described above to automatically place a pushpin mark and label on a map.

Image map
Am image map can be displayed by providing a value for image_map. The remaining image_ parameters are optional.


 * image_map
 * The name of an image to use as a map, such as  (do not include the   or   prefix).


 * image_mapsize
 * (optional) The width to display the image map, in pixels. Just the number, no " ". If omitted or left empty, defaults to 220.


 * image_map_alt
 * (optional) Alt text for the image map. If left blank or omitted, this defaults to same text used in  (or Location of  if no caption.


 * image_map_caption
 * (optional) Caption to display below the image map. If left blank or omitted, a caption will not be displayed.

Location/pushpin map
A location map can be displayed by providing values for latd, longd, and pushpin_map. The remaining pushpin_ parameters are optional.


 * pushpin_map
 * The name of a location map as per Template:Location map (eg. Indonesia or Russia). The coordinate fields (eg. latd and longd) position a pushpin mark and label on the map automatically.


 * pushpin_mapsize
 * (optional) The width to display the pushpin map, in pixels. Just the number, without " ". If omitted or left empty, defaults to 220.


 * pushpin_map_alt
 * (optional) Alt text for the pushpin map.


 * pushpin_map_caption
 * (optional) Caption to display below the pushpin map. If left blank or omitted, a caption will not be displayed.


 * pushpin_relief
 * (optional) Any non-blank value (yes, 1, etc.) will cause the template to display a relief map image, where available (see example 1). For additional information, see Template:Location map.


 * pushpin_image
 * (optional) Name of an alternative map image, which must have the same edge coordinates as the location map template specified via pushpin_map (see example 5). Do not include the  or   prefix. For additional information, see Template:Location map.


 * pushpin_label
 * (optional) The text of the label to place next to the pushpin mark (see example 1). The default is the value of the name parameter.


 * pushpin_label_position
 * (optional) The position of the label on the pushpin map relative to the pushpin mark (see example 5). Valid values are,  ,   and  . This defaults to either   or  , depending on the coordinates of the marker and its position relative to the right border of the map image.


 * pushpin_mark
 * (optional) The name of an image to display as the pushpin mark (see example 5). The default is  ( Airplane silhouette.svg ).


 * pushpin_marksize
 * (optional) The size of the mark in pixels (see example 5). The default is 10. Do not include, for example:  , not.

Infobox control
These parameters control how certain fields within the infobox are displayed.


 * metric-elev
 * Set to any value to display elevation in metric units (metres) before imperial/US units (feet); leave blank to display imperial/US units first. This can be seen in example 1.


 * metric-rwy
 * Set to any value to display runway length in metric units (metres) before imperial/US units (feet); leave blank to display imperial/US units first. Examples 1 and 2 below show the runway length with metres first; example 3 and 4 show it with feet before metres.

Runways
These parameters specify details for each runway in the "Runways" section displayed below the summary. This can also be used to specify water landing areas for seaplanes (see Fairbanks International Airport). Parameters start with r1- for the first runway, r2- for the second runway, up to r8- for the eighth runway (if more are needed, leave a message on the talk page). Each airport should have at least one runway.


 * rn-number (r1-number, r2-number, ...)
 * The designation of the runway, normally two numbers like this &rarr; 02/20, 1st number is 18 lower than the 2nd. Where there are parallel runways an additional letter is added to each number, for example "L" for left, "R" for right and "C" for center. In certain cases a runway will only have one number when it can only be used in one direction. For airports in the United States the leading zero is not used and the designation should read 2/20.


 * rn-length-f (r1-length-f, r2-length-f, ...)
 * Runway length in feet.


 * rn-length-m (r1-length-m, r2-length-m, ...)
 * Runway length in metres.


 * rn-surface (r1-surface, r2-surface, ...)
 * Runway surface type, such as: Concrete, Asphalt, Gravel, Grass (or Turf), Dirt, Water, etc. Avoid the generic type "Paved" if possible.

Helipads
These parameters specify details for each helipad in the "Helipads" section displayed below the runways. Parameters start with h1- for the first helipad, h2- for the second helipad, up to h12- for the twelfth helipad (if more are needed, leave a message on the talk page). This section is optional and only appears if the h1- parameters are specified. See example 1 and example 3 below.


 * hn-number(h1-number, h2-number, ...)
 * The designation of the helipad. In the United States this is usually the letter "H" followed by a number, i.e. "H1", "H2", etc.


 * hn-length-f (h1-length-f, h2-length-f, ...)
 * Helipad length in feet.


 * hn-length-m (h1-length-m, h2-length-m, ...)
 * Helipad length in metres.


 * hn-surface (h1-surface, h2-surface, ...)
 * Helipad surface type, such as: Concrete, Asphalt, etc. Avoid the generic type "Paved" if possible.

Statistics
These parameters specify details for an optional "Statistics" section displayed below the runways and helipads. Parameters start with stat1- for the first statistic, stat2- for the second statistic, etc. This section only appears if the stat1- parameters are specified. See example 1 and example 3 below.


 * statn-header (stat1-header, stat2-header, ...)
 * A brief description of each statistic, such as Passengers or Aircraft operations.


 * statn-data (stat1-data, stat2-data, ...)
 * The data associated with the corresponding header.


 * stat-year
 * The calendar year for the statistics. This is displayed in parentheses after the word "Statistics" in the section header.
