Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the locations of Federal Aviation Administration known obstructions. The Digital Obstacle File (DOF) is a listing of verified and unverified obstacles in the U.S. with limited coverage of the Pacific, the Caribbean, Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas. The obstacles are assigned unique alphanumerical identifiers and are listed in order by ascending latitude within each state or country. The Digital Obstacle File, from which this layer was created, contains only obstruction data for those man-made objects which affect domestic aeronautical charting products and does not purport to indicate the presence of all obstructions which may be encountered. PLEASE NOTE: In the interest of air safety, the Digital Obstacle File depicts both "verified" and "unverified" obstruction data.  A verified obstruction is indicated by an "O" in the Verification Status field.  This data has either been reviewed by the FAA's Aeronautical Information Services (AIS), Obstacle Data Team (ODT) or has been taken from airport survey data. Verified obstacles have been assigned an accuracy code, indicating the reliability of its vertical height and horizontal position.  An unverified obstruction is indicated by a "U" in the Verification Status field.  This data is considered unreliable because its position and height have not been verified by the ODT. This is an update to the FGDL layer faaobs_jun16.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for 
a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
DIGITAL OBSTACLE FILE
The Digital Obstacle File (DOF) is a listing of verified and unverified obstacles
in the U.S. with limited coverage of the Pacific, the Caribbean, Canada, Mexico,
and the Bahamas. The obstacles are assigned unique alphanumerical identifiers
and are listed in order by ascending latitude within each state or country. The
DOF digital product is updated every 56 days.

SPECIAL NOTICE
Important Information on the Horizontal Datum:
The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) is used as the horizontal datum for all DOF
data. All obstacle data has been converted to WGS 84 as of November 19, 2007.

CAUTION
The Digital Obstacle File contains only obstruction data for those man-made
objects which affect domestic aeronautical charting products and does not
purport to indicate the presence of all obstructions which may be encountered.

NOTE
In the interest of air safety, the Digital Obstacle File depicts both "verified"
and "unverified" obstruction data. A verified obstruction is indicated by an "O"
in the Verification Status field. This data has either been reviewed by the FAA's
Aeronautical Information Services (AIS), Obstacle Data Team (ODT) or has been
taken from airport survey data. Verified obstacles have been assigned an accuracy
code, indicating the reliability of its vertical height and horizontal position.
An unverified obstruction is indicated by a "U" in the Verification Status field.
This data is considered unreliable because its position and height have not
been verified by the ODT.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process:

- Downloaded the Digital Obstacle File (DOF) for Entire U.S. and Territories
  from the FAA Aeronautical Information Services website:
  https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/dof/

- The original zipfile (DAILY_DOF.ZIP) contained the DOF.DAT file. The
  DOF_README.PDF was also downloaded to understand the contents
  of the DOF.DAT file.

- The DOF.DAT file was imported into an excel spreadsheet. The data
  was converted to columns using the fixed width method and information
  from the README.PDF.

- After conversion, any blank columns were deleted. Titles were added
  to the columns using the README.PDF and the excel table was
  cleaned.

- The excel spreadsheet was then opened in ArcMap and then saved as
  a .DBF file.

- LATITUDE and LONGITUDE fields were added using the following
  calculations from the Geographical Coordinates in the table:
  [LAT_D] + ( [LAT_M] / 60 ) + ( [LAT_S] / 3600 )
  ( [LONG_D] + ( [LONG_M] / 60 ) + ( [LONG_S] / 3600 ) ) * -1
  Resulting fields are in decimal degrees.

- The table was converted to a shapefile using the LATITUDE and
  LONGITUDE fields and the Display XY function in ArcMap. The
  projection in this tool was defined as WGS 84 per the README.PDF.
  The display file was exported to a permanent shapefile using the
  Export Data function.

- The new shapefile was projected into the NAD 1983 FGDL Albers HARN
  projection. NOTE: This process resulted in an approximate 1 meter spatial
  shift in data point locations from the prior dataset. The recommended
  transformation (GS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_
  HARN_Florida) was used.

- DESCRIPT field added based on the OBSTCLTYPE field.

- FGDLAQDATE field added based on the date the dataset was downloaded
  from the source.

- The LAT_S and LONG_S fields were recalculated to add in the direction
  information (N or W) and the field containing solely that direction
  information was removed.

- The longest record for each field was calculated and field character
  lengths were shortened to the appropriate shortest length possible.

- Fields and records were uppercased.

- Layer name changed from DOF.shp to faaobs_sep17.shp.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
