## Definitions

### `com.airplaneian.contrail.temp.defs#place`

**Type**: `object`

An airport, airfield, or landing site referenced by a flight record. Every field is optional, and absent means unknown or not applicable. The identifier fields come from different systems and a place may have any combination of them, so write each one the place actually has. A place with no published identifier is described by 'name' and 'geo' alone.

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `geo` | `ref` → `community.lexicon.location.geo` | No | Coordinates, for landing sites that no identifier system covers. Do not write coordinates looked up from an identifier already in this object. |
| `gate` | `string` | No | Gate or stand used by this flight at this place, as free text. |
| `iata` | `string` | No | IATA location code, three characters, uppercase, for example 'OAK'. Reassigned between airports over time, so pair it with 'icao' or 'geo' where possible. |
| `icao` | `string` | No | ICAO location indicator, four characters, uppercase, for example 'KOAK'. Preferred for matching. Many small airfields have none. |
| `name` | `string` | No | Free-text name, for landing sites that no identifier system covers. Carries no matching guarantees. |
| `faaLid` | `string` | No | FAA Location Identifier, for United States airfields that have one, for example '1G5'. Many US fields have this and no ICAO indicator. |
| `terminal` | `string` | No | Terminal used by this flight at this place, as free text. A fact about the flight, not about the place. |
