Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle aerodromes by type, codes, certification, operations and safety.

Any defined area on land or water, including buildings and installations, intended for the arrival, departure and movement of aircraft, from small airfields and floating or beach aerodromes to major airports and air stations.

What it is for: Enabling aircraft operations.

It can be identify aerodromes by code; check certification and operating hours; follow airspace and local rules; understand noise and community issues.

Distinguishing features
