I wasn't making any comment about what may or may not be the "standard" 
way to do this; just saying that aerodrome:type is one of the ways that 
mappers distinguish between military and non-military airfields.

Compare:

You'll notice that in that area (and I'm sure elsewhere) that there are 
edge cases - "military=airfield + landuse=military" won't exclude 
Cambeltown, which has the old IATA code in OSM but isn't currently 
landuse=military.

You didn't mention military at all in your initial email, which seems 
like an omission.

Best Regards,
