What to do / not to do

The general rule is "draw what you see", with a few exceptions:

DO

• Use accurate imagery for airports.
  
• Add taxiways.
  
• Add taxiway lines.
  
• Add parking spots.
  
• Modify runways.
  
• Add airport boundaries.
  
• Add airport ATC frequencies (please see websites such as airnav.com for this).
  

DON'T

• Add runway markings or text/numbers with taxiway lines (this includes runway numbers, blastpad arrows, etc.).
  
• Create jet bridges using the taxiway tool.
  
• Forget to include a boundary.
  
• Make up an airport - it HAS to be a real airport.
  
• Outline buildings with a taxi line.

Airport accuracy

In order to achieve maximum accuracy for each airport (in terms of features drawn, location and sizing), the majority of our editors use SASPlanet (for Windows and Linux only) and WED-O-Maker. This allows for detailed satellite imagery to be shown on WED. It's free to use, and easy to set up (tutorials are available on the WED-O-Maker website).
