== Professionalism ==
 
Can we please just generally tidy up this article. Some of the language used is simply not want you expect to find in an encyclopedia. For example, can we choose another subtitle for the section named "tying things down". This is Wikipedia!! More professionalism needed please!! <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/79.68.44.16|79.68.44.16]] ([[User talk:79.68.44.16|talk]]) 18:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
== Query ==
 
For quite some time now, clicking on the item "Airports Authority of India: Goa Airport" in "External Links" results in HTTP 404 error, "file not found". This link should either be removed or replaced.
 
The article states that the ICAO Code of Goa is "VAGO". However, the Mumbai/Chennai FIR lines (VABF/VOMF) were realigned a few months ago and Goa now falls in the Chennai FIR. It is therefore redesignated as "VOGO". <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/122.178.195.132|122.178.195.132]] ([[User talk:122.178.195.132|talk]]) 09:52, 27 November 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Sea Harriers overshooting Runway ==
 
How can a [[Sea Harrier]] overshoot the runway? They land vertically. --[[User:Rsrikanth05|Rsrikanth05]] ([[User talk:Rsrikanth05|talk]]) 08:57, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
: The Sea Harrier is a [[V/STOL]] aircraft. They can take off and land both vertically as well as the conventional way. Apparently the overshoots occurred during a non vertical landing. [[User:Trinidade|Trinidade]] ([[User talk:Trinidade|talk]]) 18:56, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 
== ICAO airport code ==
 
Can anyone please confirm the [[ICAO airport code]] for [[Dabolim]]? Most websites I have checked say '''VAGO''' but I cannot find a solid source to confirm.
 
--[[User:Peroxwhy2gen|Peroxwhy2gen]] <sup>[[User talk:Peroxwhy2gen|Talk]]</sup> 02:14, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
:The ICAO code mentioned in the article is the right one. All ICAO codes for airports in India begin with "VO". <span style="white-space:nowrap;">&mdash;[[User:Abhishek191288|<span style="background:#8b008b;color:#FFFAFA"><b>&nbsp;Abhishek&nbsp;</b></span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Abhishek191288|<span style="color:#006400">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup></span> 13:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
::According to [[List of airports by ICAO code: V#VA VE VI VO - India|this article]] India is divided into four centres by the ICAO: Bombay (VA), Calcutta (VE), Delhi (VI) and Madras (VO). [http://legacy.icao.int/anb/aig/Taxonomy/R4CDLocationIndicatorsbystate.pdf This PDF] from 2006 gives the code for Dabolim as "VAGO" and so does [http://www.icao.int/safety/ANP/Pages/Demo-LocationIndicators.aspx?state=India this website]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goa_International_Airport&diff=530294352&oldid=530294228 '''This'''] is the edit that changed VAGO to VOGO. As you can see it was done so by an unregistered editor without a summary or reference. Unless Goa has been moved from Bombay (VA) to Madras (VO), I see no reason for the code not to be VAGO. Couple more websites that say VAGO: [http://www.flightstats.com/go/Airport/airportDetails.do?airportCode=GOI] and [http://flightaware.com/live/airport/VAGO].

:::You're right, Peroxwhy2gen. India indeed has four zones. I cant find any online evidence that Goa Airport has been moved from VAGO to VOGO. I think its safe to revert back to VAGO going by what the ICAO website says. <span style="color:blue;">Trinidade</span> 15:07, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
::::I have now changed the ICAO code back to "VAGO". If anyone disagrees, please discuss here. Thank you, [[User:Peroxwhy2gen|Peroxwhy2gen]] <sup>[[User talk:Peroxwhy2gen|Talk]]</sup> 06:58, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

== Change back to "Dabolim Airport" ==
The page name should be Dabolim Airport as this is the most commonly used name.
 
[[Wikipedia:Article titles]] states: ''Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources.''
 
Dabolim Airport is the most frequently used name by the people, the government and the media. Some may refer to it as "Goa Airport" either because they do not know the location (Dabolim) or because it is the only airport in Goa. I personally have never heard it being called "Goa International Airport".
 
Thank you,

:We mostly use official names for airports. We tend to use the common name only if the official name is too long. So the current title is correct. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">&mdash;[[User:Abhishek191288|<span style="background:#8b008b;color:#FFFAFA"><b>&nbsp;Abhishek&nbsp;</b></span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Abhishek191288|<span style="color:#006400">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup></span> 16:12, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
::I still think Dabolim Airport or simply Goa Airport would suffice given that the AAI website is the only credible (is it really that credible?) source that calls it "international". The limited number of international flights and the substandard facilities at the airport (I regret having to say this) hardly qualify it to be an international airport at all. The sign on the front of the airport building says "Goa Airport" without the international part. Also the name "Goa International Airport" might be confusing to some given the proposed "international airport" at Mopa in North Goa. I really would like to hear other users' views on this matter.
 
:: Also as a side note could anyone please respond to the previous section titled ''[[Talk:Goa International Airport#ICAO airport code|ICAO airport code]]''. Thank you, [[User:Peroxwhy2gen|Peroxwhy2gen]] <sup>[[User talk:Peroxwhy2gen|Talk]]</sup> 12:49, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
:::It would be better if you could take the discussion to [[WT:AIRPORT]] wherein you would have a larger number of editors to discuss with. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">&mdash;[[User:Abhishek191288|<span style="background:#8b008b;color:#FFFAFA"><b>&nbsp;Abhishek&nbsp;</b></span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Abhishek191288|<span style="color:#006400">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup></span> 13:03, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
