Description:
Abstract:
A geographic data set of runways in the United States and US territories containing information on the physical characteristics of the runways. The 8550 runways in the data set are supposed to include all of the runways associated with the 19793 airports in the companion airport data set. This data is a re-issue of 1999 data.
Purpose:
This data provides users with information about the runway locations and attributes for national and regional analysis applications.
Time_Period_of_Content:
Currentness_Reference: This is 1999 data and reflects ground conditions and annual summaries for the year collected.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Data were obtained from the
Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Flight
Data Center (NFDC) 5010 landing facilities data
(January 1999).
Logical_Consistency_Report: All linear features in this data
set are straight lines. Two separate unique feature
identifiers are included -- the landing facility location
identifier (LOCID) and the Site Number (SITE_NO).
However, to uniquely identify a runway, the Site Number
plus the Runway Identifier must be concatenated.
Completeness_Report: Landing facilities in this database
consist of those identified in the NFDC 5010 database to
be either publicly owned, or privately owned but open to
the public, or owned by the U.S. military. The following
landing facilities have been excluded: private landing
facilities not open to the public, glider ports and ultra
light landing facilities, as well as landing facilities
that do not have a current LOCID assigned to them.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positiona_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal positional accuracy is
based on coordinate data provided
in the NFDC 5010 database. These coordinate data
identify the approximate location of the Airport
Reference Point (ARP) as reported by the landing
facility on the NFDC 5010 form. According to NFDC
guidelines, the location of the ARP should be reported
to a horizontal accuracy of one arc second of latitude
and longitude. However, the accuracy of these reported
coordinates are not verified by FAA.
