Template:US airport data/doc

This template is transcluded into lists of airports for each U.S. state, such as List of airports in Wyoming, to describe the table of airport data that follows it. By using a template, the format remains uniform across all of the lists.

Usage

The description generated by this template always includes a year range for the "Role" column (from the NPIAS, such as 2009–2013 or 2011–2015) and a year for the "Enplanements" column (from the FAA, such as 2008 or 2010). These can be optionally specified, but if not given they default to 2009–2013 and 2008, respectively.

With no parameters:

{{US airport data}}

With unnamed parameters:

{{US airport data|2011–2015|2010}}

With named parameters:

{{US airport data|NPIAS date=2011–2015|Enplanements date=2010}}

In order to replace existing sections in these airport lists without any loss of information, the template also supports four additional named parameters, all of which are optional and are shown in the example below.

• NPIAS release — Release date for NPIAS roles, such as October 2010 (for 2011–2015 NPIAS)
• Enplanements release — Release date for FAA enplanements, such as October 2011 (for enplanements in 2010)
• City link — Link to article about cities within a U.S. state, such at List of cities in Nevada (do not use [[List of cities in Nevada]], since text is automatically linked to article)
• FAA links — Specifies the source for lists where the FAA codes are linked to external pages about the airport, such at [[Nevada Department of Transportation]] (this text is not automatically linked, so include the brackets if linking to an article)

Example

The following example uses all six named parameters:

Template code

 {{US airport data
 | NPIAS date = 2011–2015 | NPIAS release = October 2010
 | Enplanements date = 2010 | Enplanements release = October 2011
 | City link = List of cities in Nevada
 | FAA links = [[Nevada Department of Transportation]]

Template output

This list contains the following information:

• City served – The city generally associated with the airport, as per the airport's master record with the Federal Aviation Administration. This is not always the actual location since some airports are located in smaller towns outside of the city they serve. It is not meant to be a complete list of cities served, which can be found in or added to each airport's Wikipedia article.
• FAA – The location identifier assigned by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These are linked to each airport's page at the Nevada Department of Transportation.
• IATA – The airport code assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Those that do not match the FAA code are shown in bold.
• ICAO – The location indicator assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
• Airport name – The official airport name. Those shown in bold indicate the airport has scheduled passenger service on commercial airlines.
• Role – One of four FAA airport categories, as per the 2011–2015 National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) report released October 2010:
  • P-s: Commercial service – primary are publicly owned airports that receive scheduled passenger service and have more than 10,000 passenger boardings (enplanements) each year. Each primary airport is sub-classified by the FAA as one of the following four "hub" types (s):
    • L: Large hub that accounts for at least 1% of total U.S. passenger enplanements.
    • M: Medium hub that accounts for between 0.25% and 1% of total U.S. passenger enplanements.
    • S: Small hub that accounts for between 0.05% and 0.25% of total U.S. passenger enplanements.
    • N: Nonhub that accounts for less than 0.05% of total U.S. passenger enplanements, but more than 10,000 annual enplanements.
  • CS: Commercial service – nonprimary are publicly owned airports that receive scheduled passenger service and have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each year.
  • R: Reliever airports are designated by the FAA to relieve congestion at a large commercial service airport and to provide more general aviation access to the overall community.
  • GA: General aviation airports are the largest single group of airports in the U.S. airport system.
• Enplanements – The number of enplanements (commercial passenger boardings) that occurred at the airport in calendar year 2010, as per FAA records released October 2011.
