South America Mislocated Airports

hpscot08 · **on:** October 17, 2007, 05:31:20 am

I have just added more airports in South America, I think that there is a bug in the code from when y'all submit to when I approve them, so please list the airport and code here if you believe an airport is not located correctly. Thanks

Edit -> Spelling....

compared to the great circle mapper
the distance between CGH and PVH
differ by nearly 1.000 mi.

Maybe thats an issue conserning a difference between statute miles and nautical miles. But AFAIK and as far as i read is not a bug.

Significantly mislocated airports:

BBA; CPC; NQN

all are far too close to MSP.
