Location of Dundee Airport
[edit]Dundee Airport is located 3km west of the centre of Dundee (roughly taken as the Cathedral). If airport was 0.9km south of this point, then would be in River Tay. Going 0.9km north of your source would be the district of Balgay friedfish 17:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- But the AIP does not say that it's .5 NM south of the centre of Dundee, just .5 south of Dundee, without defining the location measured from. The AIP is the source that pilots flying into Dundee use and can been seen by going to AIS or EUROCONTROL (but they do require a free signup). There is a copy saved at http://www.alansim.com/Temp_store/302PN01.pdf. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 20:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you - I checked some of the details from AIP earlier without much success. Indeed, I was surprised to see details that Dundee airport had moved into the River Tay. The local websites provide the following information [1] and [2]. Your PDF certainly clears where the confusion arises. Please look at one of the maps (Google, Ord Surv, etc.) if you need clarification. Certainly the 0.5 naut. miles is fundamentally wrong as the airport is within Dundee City limits, and detailed above, 0.9 km north of this AIP location is well within Dundee (either Balgay or Lochee). And, as indicated above, from the city centre is 3km west. Furthermore, the grid location you have given is the midpoint of the runway not the "custom point" as had previously been the case. Other WikiUsers have tended to use this. Another plane site locates Dundee Airport 3.5 naut. miles south of Dundee [3]; which is surprising, though the location it gives for Dundee is somewhere in the countryside and a couple of nearby towns are similarly submerged in River Tay. I sincerely hope that plane navigation systems are more reliable than this!!! An additional point, I believe you should either put the AIP reference more explicitly or in the form [ [ AIP | UK AIP ] ] rather than have a superfluous "UK" WikiLink → · friedfish 21:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Dundeeairportlogo.jpg
[edit]Image:Dundeeairportlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Restructuring History/Present Day Sections
[edit]Perhaps it would be a good idea to begin restructuring the page with regards to creating a present day section? The History section is getting very chunky now! Matthew Jackson (talk) 13:33, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Lead
[edit]Is this statement really significant enough to be in the lead of the article - "Dundee Airport is the closest airport to the championship golf courses at St Andrews, Gleneagles and Carnoustie." There is nothing in the article to suggest the airport has particularly high traffic due to golf or golfing events (and as the crow flies in terms of distance there is not much between Dundee and Edinburgh airport as to which is closer to Gleneagles).
