An Aerodrome (in some countries Airfield) is any location from which aircraft flying operations take place. In the United Kingdom "Airfield" or "Airport" has superseded the term. In the United States, the word was modified into airdrome but has become obsolete since the World War II. In Canada[1] and Australia[2] usage it is a legal term of art for any area of land or water used for aircraft operation, regardless of facilities. The Canadian act says "...for the most part, all of Canada can be an aerodrome.", however there are also "registered aerodromes" and "certified airports". To become a registered aerodrome the operator must maintain certain standards and keep the Minister of Transport (Canada) informed of any changes. To be certified as an airport the aerodrome, which usually supports commercial operations, must meet certain safety standards.[1] A water aerodrome is an area of open water used regularly by seaplanes for landing and taking off. The Canadian government publishes a directory of Canadian Water Aerodromes in the Water Aerodrome Supplement (WAS).[3]
