[edit] Usage

This template can be used for any U.S. airport which has an FAA location identifier but where {{US-airport-ga}} is not suitable because the airport does not have a 4-letter ICAO airport code (which for the continental U.S. is the letter "K" followed by the FAA identifier). These are usually minor general aviation airports, thus the template's name.

It currently provides all the same links as {{US-airport-ga}} except for the Aviation Safety Network, which requires an IATA airport code, and the National Weather Service report, which is not usually available for these smaller airports.

To use this on an airport page, add the following under the "External links" section, replacing XXX with the airport's 3-character FAA location identifier:

{{US-airport-minor|XXX}}

The template supports a second parameter for airports which also have a 3-letter IATA airport code. This allows for the inclusion of external links which use the IATA code (currently just the Aviation Safety Network link). In the following example, ZZZ represents the the 3-letter IATA code:

{{US-airport-minor|XXX|ZZZ}}

[edit] See also

{{US-airport}}

  • Use this for airports which have scheduled flights and where the ICAO airport code is "K" followed by the FAA identifier. It includes an "FAA Delays" link that does not work for most general aviation airports.

{{US-airport-ga}}

  • Use this for general aviation airports that have no scheduled flights and where the ICAO airport code is "K" followed by the FAA identifier.

{{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. It assumes that the ICAO airport code is "K" followed by the FAA identifier.

{{US-airport2}}

  • Use this for airports where the ICAO airport code is not "K" followed by the FAA identifier. These are usually airports located outside the continental United States such as in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. The template name is based on the fact that it allows a 2nd parameter to specify the ICAO code.
