Our library is largely derived from public input and many unknown sources. Therefore any airfield condition must be checked for accuracy and usage confirmed with the aerodrome operator/owner! This database was established in 2011 and since than some small privately owned, often just station aerodrome have also been added and published in the ERSA lately. For all Australian aerodromes always check on the "Airservices Australia website" aeronautical publication or ERSA for the possibility of new publications and updates.
Any feedback towards accuracies and updates from the public is appreciated.

Published - Classification	Percentage	Amount
Airfield type/status unknown (no data)	6.142%	64
Primary RPT Airport (control tower)	2.975%	31
Primary GA Airport (control tower)	0.480%	5
Minor Ala less than 700 meters	0.576%	6
Medium Ala 700 to 1000 meters	1.727%	18
Large Ala - above 1000 meters	2.975%	31
Unknown status or disused Airstrip	7.965%	83
Privat station airstrip - status with owner!	28.215%	294
Public airport for general use (check with the official national database - website)	34.837%	363
None specified Airstrip (not documented on national official airport website - but most likely for public use)	14.107%	147

An airfield would be classified as PRIVAT if there was reliable information as to the operator/owner. That can be a cattle station (grazing), research institute, outback school, aborigine reserve, holiday resorts & outback public places to name just a few. If the operator/owner can not be located and the aerodrome appears to be well maintained (markers, windsock etc) it should be classified an ALA. In some circumstances it may be NONE SPECIFIC, meaning the operator/owner is known, the airport is available to the public but it is not listed in an official national airport database. An airport with status UNKNOWN is usually marked as DISUSED. Permission to use private airfields are always required unless it states other wise. Airports marked as PUBLIC are usually published on the national air services website with reliable updates.

MID AIR COLLISION

There can be no doubt a mid air collision particularly in a class G (uncontrolled airspace) is a real possibility. Especially close to VFR approach points and airstrips where traffic converges. The see and avoid is the usual procedure with some competent radio work but often this is not enough. When venturing out for a bit of local fun flying it is always a good idea to make prior separation arrangement before flight planning with other known pilots. This could be a horizontal, a vertical separation or both. One pilot may fly at a slightly diff and more.....
