Questions about the airport D-base....

[CornField]

I realize that it is HUGE undertaking..  But the it is starting to get a bit ridiculous some of the airports that are appearing...


KGBG.. Galesburg Municipal... It isn't even a Part 139 airport, and can't have any commercial service...  So where did a passenger number for an airport that doesn't report them come from?

KPWK  Palwaukee..(Chicago Municipal)...  No commercial service or scheduled charters...... So where did a passenger number come from

KDUG  Douglas-Bisbee....  This was an d-base error reported 2 rounds ago...  Submitter even admits there isn't any commercial service and thusly no reported FAA pax number...

KMKC  Charles B. Wheeler....  Not even open to larger than 30 seat A/C without 24 approval, and no air carrier ops more than 15 minutes before or after arrival and departure...   Does this sound like an airport that has commercial ops???


When did user invented numbers become accepted amounts for the d-base?  We already discourage Wiki numbers which are user invented......

sometimes general airports have a random amount of charted pax a year or very high general traffic, allowing strange amounts of traffic.... but your right, they're arent commercial airports.

GA airports don't report their pax numbers... they report aircraft movements....  So where do you find an acceptable number that should be in the airport database....  An airport director or marketing department's press releases aren't reliable... Time after time they magically show more pax than the FAA ends up reporting....

I'm trying to get some sort of 'official' idea of what Stephen and Rick expect...
