This code still seems like an odd outlier - 7 characters long ("AE-0003"). Can we switch it to "OMDS" or "OM003" or somesuch in the Gateway (or whatever code is appropriate)? Causes me grief when I dump the default apt.dat into my old DB, since the codes are set up as nvarchar(6).
X-Plane can only handle a max of 4 chars for the ICAO, so I still suggest we use OMDS as a best guess until we know better.

For 10.40 (which will be the next time we export the Gateway airports to X-Plane), we're upgrading X-Plane to handle longer identifiers.

Have requested the creation of OM003 on the Gateway. When done, will action accordingly.
