Microlight tours
From a problem report:
"This airfield is NOT closed, it is still used by its owners, they do air tours with microlights"
No airport visible
There's no airport visible. I'm not certain there ever was one, because it looks like the databases just picked up the latitude and longitude of the village of Dadu rather than an airport.
No runway visible
I'm assuming the road doubles as a landing strip, but with the curve, it would be challenging.
re: Need to delete rwy 10/28
Reply to @amirfl: Done.
re: Any verification on the ICAO ID?
Reply to @mforte: yes, it's problematic, because GMAR is a Moroccan ICAO code, and this airport is not within Morocco's internationally recognized borders (though they occupy and administer the territory).
Replaced old STOLport
Replaced the old Mukah STOLport on 16 June 2021.
re: (no subject)
Thanks for the comment. Our policy is to list the primary city served rather than the airport's actual location.
Active airstrip?
The houses are dangerously close to the runway if it's still in use.
Russian controlled
Russia is currently occupying Crimea and their military is using this base.
Russian control
Under Russian control, but still internationally recognised as Ukranian soil.
Location off
YWOM is still an active ALA according to the December 2021 AIP. The location is clearly a little off — perhaps it's the field just to the northwest, but I don't want to guess without more evidence.

re: missing
Reply to @adidas Thank-you for adding this airstrip. Do you know if it's currently active?
re: missing
Reply to @adidas: The only Wallaroo listed in the AIP is a helipad in South Australia. https://ourairports.com/airports/YWRO/
Do you have any more info about this airstrip? Is it still operational? It looks like it's actually in NSW, too.
Not to be confused with YBCH
There is also a Beechworth Airstrip (YBCH) in Victoria. Both are still listed in the Dec 2021 AIP.
Not to be confused with YBEW
There is also a Beechworth Airstrip (YBEW) in NSW.

Reply to @adidas: Thank you for updating it.
"Dangerous" airport
This airport, with its 2,119 ft runway, gets attention as one of the world's (so-called) most dangerous airports, but that's a bit nonsensical. It's more a matter of what plane you're choosing to land there.
A Twin Otter or even DC-3 could handle it without breaking a sweat, and probably leave a lot of the runway unused; a 747 would shoot off the end at full speed and end up as a smoking wreck.
In between those extremes, it's a matter of how close you want to cut it to your plane's maximum performance, as with any airplane and runway.
From problem report
Owner is The Superlight Aircraft Club of WA. Airfield phone number is 0492 930 303. Prior permission required. See ERSA for details.
Jervis Bay Territory
NSW surrendered this small territory to the landlocked Australian Capital Territory (Canberra) so that it would have access to to ocean.
re: No longer operational
Closed in 2011 according to the Wikipedia article.
Replaced Luzhou Lantian Airport
Replaced https://ourairports.com/airports/CN-0011/ in 2018.
Uncertain status
The satellite imagery shows a possible clear landing area to the east of the location marker, but it's not at all clear that there is a real airport here, despite the fact that it appears in charts and Wikipedia and has an ICAO code.
