in reference to #41

mborsetti commented 4 years ago

Great catch, thanks! However:

the coordinates of LTFM point to ... the old airport! (Wikipedia has LTFM at 41° 15′ 44″ N, 28° 43′ 40″ E [41.262222, 28.727778], while Jeppesen places it at N41° 16.52', E028° 45.12'[41.275333, 28.752000])
elevation is in ft (unclear from the name), so it should be 325
the new entry is not in alphabetical order.

@mwgg is there a policy for choosing the source of records for the field coordinates? Nothing in the docs

As for the coordinates, strange I've taken them from gmaps, maybe I've got it wrong somehow, is there a tool to sort the entry ? or is it done manually ?

Thanks.

Probably one exists somewhere, but for a single entry I'd do it manually!

hatemalimam commented 4 years ago

Hello, thanks for merging, I have noticed that there are two entries with the code LTFM, one maybe sorted and the other is not ?

mborsetti commented 4 years ago

As #42 was stalled I created #43 with the correct data and sorted position; I am not sure why both were merged. @mwgg #42 needs to be rolled back.
