Airport size

Quick (?) question: what determines the size of an airport in Plan-G?

Most airports in this region display when "Medium" is checked. This includes farm strips with a single turf runway and no fuel available. Clicking "Small" adds only a handful. There are only three "Large" airports (and one of them shouldn't be, in my mind). And nothing comes up when "farm strips" is selected.

Presumably, Plan-G is drawing this from somewhere, so my question is, where does it get this?

It's based on runway length. Small is < 800m, large is >3000m. Medium is everything in between.

(manual page 51 ;) )
