Description:

Abstract:

The Airport Runways database is a Florida subset of a geographic dataset of runways in the United States and US territories containing information on the physical characteristics of the runways. The 6404 runways in the dataset are runways associated with the 19949 airports in the companion airport data set. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data Product (Effective 10 March 2011). This is an update to the runway_2010 layer.

Purpose:

This data provides users with information about the runway locations and attributes for national and regional analysis applications.

Supplemental_Information:

The National Transportation Atlas Database is a set of nationwide geographic databases of transportation facilities, transportation networks, and associated infrastructure. These datasets include spatial information for transportation modal networks and intermodal terminals, as well as the related attribute information for these features. Metadata documentation, as prescribed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee, is also provided for each database. The data support research, analysis, and decision-making across all modes of transportation. They are most useful at the national level, but have major applications at regional, state, and local scales throughout the transportation community.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Value: unknown

Logical_Consistency_Report:

All linear features in this data set are straight lines. ID is the unique identifier for each record in the dataset. There may be more than one runway (ID) located at a single airport. Airports can be individually identified by the landing facility location identifier (LOCID) or by the site number (SITENO) attribute.
RITA/BTS quality checks were to cross reference the place dataset with the state dataset, to determine that the spatial data and attribute data were accurate

Completeness_Report:

Landing facilities in this database consist of those identified in the NFDC 5527 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_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Horizontal positional accuracy is based on coordinate data provided in the FAA National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Dataset (Effective 10 March 2011). These coordinate data identify the approximate location of the Airport Reference Point (ARP) as reported by the landing facility on the NFDC (National Flight Data Center) 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.

Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: unknown

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

Process_Description:

The creation of this geospatial data layer was completed by RITA/BTS in March 2011. This Shapefile was derived from textual data on the FAA National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data CDROM, effective 10 March 2011. The Apt.txt file was converted into three files using the UNIX command grep. The runway table structure was built in Oracle that followed the structure of the facility runway data described in the Apt_rf.txt file. A control file was built for the desired runway data structure and SQL Loader was used to load the data into the database. The degrees, minutes, and seconds' columns were converted into decimal degrees and ESRI products were used to create the runway linear dataset.

Process_Description:

In July 2011 Geoplan obtained the data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) in CDROM format. The data was in the following geographical coordinate system: WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees. During the QA/QC process GeoPlan performed the following tasks.
- Extracted features where "STATEFIPS" = '12' to select features in Florida - Reprojected the data to FGDL Albers HPGN - Uppercased all fields - Added DESCRIPT field based on FULLNAME - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date GeoPlan acquired the data from the source. - Renamed the dataset from runway to runway_2011

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 makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

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.
