Airports

List of all controlled airports and their ownership hierarchies.

• automatch - Optional Boolean (assumed true if omitted) - Auto-assign the default APP/DEP controllers (above TWR) for this airport (DEP > F_APP > APP).
• position - Optional String - The ID of the entity to which this airport is assigned. Multiple types of entity are supported. Select which type of entity using the type property in this object. If no type is defined, the default option is "sector".
• type - Optional String (assumed sector if omitted) - Type of owner. There are three options:
  • "major" - Assign to another airports entry in this data set, and follow its ownership order (above TWR)
  • "position" - Assign to a a positions entry in this data set.
