If you can provide the decimal version instead that would be preferred. Otherwise we need to go find the data again anyway.

Its not that hard to convert. Most moderately advanced calculators have the function, or else I am sure there's an online tool.

I just found a link: http://www.satsig.net/degrees-minutes-seconds-calculator.htm

For Stephen, if he has more data in degrees, minutes, seconds.

The above 5 have been fixed...

It seems that the person who added those airports decided that the minutes and seconds were not important, and therefore only inputted the degree.... :roll:

Or he thought it could accept degree-minute-second notation, and the AM backend just accepted what was in front of the °?

That would certainly explain some of the recent discrepancies I've found! I'm afraid I've found some more, I'll post them later. I guess these discrepancies would affect the great circle distance calculations too?
