Helipads will be named where named in revision material supplied.

Helipads will be included within the boundaries of another Aircraft facility, a Built Up Area or a Recreation Area Polygon, however it will only be symbolised if space and cartographic generalisation permits.

A Helipad with a status of Unknown in the base material/digital data or NTDB should be reviewed against supplied reference material and if it status can not be established, a producer should request clarification (via an action request) from Geoscience Australia on how to proceed.

Helipads which have been decommissioned should be given an Upperscale of 25 000.

Abandoned Helipads should be given an Upperscale of 100 000 unless Geoscience Australia provides direction for them to be attributed with an Upperscale of 250 000 in highly vegetated areas for emergency response or rescue purposes.

With the exception of the above sentence, only operational and under construction helipads will be acceptable for Upperscale values of 1:250 000 and smaller scales (larger areas) e.g 1:250 000, 1: 1 000 000. Refer to the inter-relationship rules for more information on the Upperscale values of helipads.

Which helipads will be assigned an Upperscale of 1 000 000 will be conducted based on Geoscience Australia's direction for the production of WACs. When no direction is provided only those helipads shown on existing WAC will be assigned/retained with an Upperscale of 1 000 000.

In general, only heliports with a status of 'Operational' will be symbolised.

General - All Scales

Aircraft Facilities must be confirmed using approved reference or supporting material. If a producer is unable to verify the status or existence of an Aircraft Facility currently held within the base material then an Action Request should be directed to Geoscience Australia requesting information on how to proceed.

The classification of facilities will be done according to the Enroute Supplement Australia published by Airservices Australia and supplied as reference material. Only facilities shown as licensed, certified or registered in the Enroute Supplement will be represented using the Runway feature type. If the facility is not listed in the supplement or is listed as unlicensed, uncertified or unregistered it will be represented using the Landing Ground feature type.

Landing Grounds of historical significance will be assigned a textnote of 'historical'. Geoscience Australia will supply information within project instructions if historical landing grounds exist within a work package supplied to producers.

The elevation in feet of landing grounds should be derived from the Enroute Supplement Australia in the first instance. If the information is unavailable then the National Airfield Directory should be used.

The feature and attribute reliabilities will be the date of the Enroute Supplement Australia, Imagery or the base material/digital data as appropriate.

When supplied with a change guide for aviation the above specifications will be taken into account unless otherwise documented.

The alignment of landing grounds should be checked against imagery whenever possible as it can change over time.

Decommissioned Landing Grounds which are no longer visible on imagery and have no historical significance will not be eligible for an Upperscale Value of 100 000 or smaller scale (larger area). All other landing grounds should have a minimum Upperscale Value of 100 000.

At every location where landing grounds exist, one landing strip should be classified with an Upperscale of 250 000. Where there is more than one landing ground at a location, only the main landing strip should be classified with an Upperscale of 250 000 or smaller scale (larger area). The main landing strip will be determined by information held in the status, surface type, length and landing access fields. The main landing strip would be that which provides the most reliable and easiest access to the location (eg Operational/Bitumen/1000m/Year Round).

Direction will be provided by Airservices Australia on which landing grounds will be applicable to be shown on the 1:1,000,000 scale WAC product.

Only Historical Landing Grounds will be named, where known, and labelled with the descriptive note 'historical'

Military aircraft facilities will be symbolised in the same way as civil facilities, but will not be named nor given any other indication of their military nature.

All landing grounds will be labelled with a descriptive note "landing ground", this will be derived from the feature type field.

All landing grounds that have a status other than 'Decommissioned' and 'Abandoned' will be shown on the map face. In addition, only 'Decommissioned' and 'Abandoned' landing grounds which are visible on imagery or of historical significance will be shown on the map face and in these cases would be labelled with a descriptive note regarding their status.

All landing grounds with a status of 'Under Construction' will be labelled with the descriptive note 'under construction'

General - All Scales

The classification of facilities will be done according to the Enroute Supplement Australia published by Airservices Australia and supplied as reference material. Only facilities shown as licensed, certified or registered in the Enroute Supplement will be represented using the Runway feature type. If the facility is not listed in the supplement or is listed as unlicensed, uncertified or unregistered it will be represented using the Landing Ground feature type.

Licensed, certified or registered facilities will be named. The name should be that of the airport as signposted. The suffix of 'Airport' or 'Aerodrome' will be included in the name. When unknown the form of suffix used will be that used on/in the base material/digital data (e.g. existing NTDB, previous edition map or state information). If not previously indicated on/in the base material/digital data the default suffix 'Aerodrome' will be used.

Alternate Names should be captured, where known.

The Airport Designation should be as defined by Department of Transport and Regional Services web site (Designated International Airports in Australia).

The ICAO Designation will be as documented in the Enroute Supplement Australia published by Airservices Australia.

The feature and attribute reliabilities will be the date of the Enroute Supplement Australia, Imagery or the base material/digital data as appropriate.

The elevation in feet of landing grounds should be derived from the Enroute Supplement Australia in first instance. If the information is unavailable then the National Airfield Directory should be used.

When supplied with a change guide for aviation the above specifications will be taken into account unless otherwise documented.

Runways will be captured to scale and formed using parallel lines that should give the appearance of right angles at each end.

In the situation where Runways of different SURFACE, STATUS and SEASONAL classifications coexist on the ground, they should be represented as separate polygons otherwise a single polygon will be used to represent the feature. See Section 3 6.10 Aircraft Facilities for more information.

When assigning Upperscale values, the assigned value in the Runway feature type should be equivalent to the assigned value in the Runway Centreline feature type representing the same entity.

All runways should be assigned a minimum Upperscale value equal to 100 000.

In general, for each airport area, all Runways with a sealed surface (eg Bitumen, Concrete) should be assigned a minimum Upperscale Value of 250 000. If an airport area has no Runways with a sealed surface, then only the main unsealed Runway (based on length/status/surface) will be assigned the Upperscale Value of 250 000.

Only the main runway (based on length/status/surface etc) for each airport area will be eligible for assignment of an Upperscale Value of 1,000,000.

Which aircraft facilities will be assigned an Upperscale of 1,000,000 will be conducted based on Geoscience Australia's direction for the production of WACs. When no direction is provided only those aircraft facilities shown on the existing WACs will be assigned/retained as 1,000,000 features.

General - All Scales

Runways, Aprons and Taxiways must be fully contained within the Airport Area feature type.

Aprons must not overlap Runways.

Where Aprons abut Runways and Taxiways in reality they should be made coincident along those portions of the features.

The end nodes of taxiways shall be coincident with a vertex on the perimeter of an Aircraft Facility Area (feature class) polygon, the end nodes of two or more intersecting taxiways or with a building representing its destination point.

Taxiways can overlap Runways.

General - All Scales

Runways cannot overlap;
Pondage Area (Feature Class), Cemetery Area, Waste Management Area, Rapid Area

General - All Scales

Only Operational Runways will be represented on the map.

For named Aircraft Facilities, 'Airport' or 'Aerodrome' will be included in the name. The form used will be that used on the latest previous edition map. If the Aircraft Facility was not previously named 'Aerodrome' will be used.

Military aircraft facilities will be symbolised in the same way as civil facilities, but will not be named nor given any other indication of their military nature.

All Runways of licenced aircraft facilities will be drawn to scale and correctly oriented. All Runways should have the appearance that they are formed using parallel lines and right angles at each end.

General - All Scales

Taxiways should be captured along their centreline.

When assigning Upperscale Values, sufficient taxiways will be shown at a specific scale to reflect the movement pattern. Select the major through routes within the area whilst avoiding clutter. Where all taxiways can be shown without causing clutter then they shall be shown.

General - All Scales

The end nodes of taxiways shall be coincident with a vertex on the perimeter of an Aircraft Facility Area (feature class) polygon, the end nodes of two or more intersecting taxiways or with a building representing its destination point.

Taxiways can overlap Runways.

Where Aprons abut Runways and Taxiways in reality they should be made coincident along those portions of the features.

Runways, Aprons and Taxiways must be fully contained within the Airport Area feature type.

General - All Scales

Taxiways cannot overlap;
Pondage Area (Feature Class), Cemetery Area, Waste Management Area, Rapid Area

The end nodes of taxiways shall be coincident with a vertex on the perimeter of an Aircraft Facility Area (feature class) polygon, the end nodes of two or more intersecting taxiways or with a building representing its destination point.
