| CATEGORY |
CATEGORY |
Indicates Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) classification. Certified means that the aerodrome can accept regular air services by aircraft with more than 30 seats, provided the aerodrome meets CASA standards for the aircraft type. Registered refers to aerodromes that are not certified but have published approach procedures. Registered aerodromes usually cater for air charter operations by aircraft with 30 seats or less. ALA (Aeroplane Landing Areas) refers to aerodromes suitable for light aircraft operations (aircraft with Maximum Take Off Weight (MTOW) less than 5,700 kg). |

| RUN_ORIENT |
RUNWAY ORIENTATION |
Runway orientation. Displayed as 1/10th of the magnetic azimuth from north. Runways are labelled with two numbers indicating the direction from either approach angle. For example '12/30' is 120°/300° degrees from magnetic north. |
