- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This dataset is the Florida subset of the Airport Runways Database. The Airport Runways database is a geographic dataset of runways in the United States and US territories containing information on the physical characteristics of the runways. The 259 runways in the dataset are runways associated with the airports in the companion airport data set. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data Product (Effective 1 April 2014).
This is an update to the runway_2014 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.
- 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 site number (SITENUMBER)
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 1 April 2014). 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.

- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

-
The creation of this geospatial data layer was completed
by RITA/BTS in April 2014. This Shapefile was derived from
textual data on the FAA National Airspace System Resource
Aeronautical Data CDROM, effective 1 April 2014. 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 2015 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 "STFIPS" = '12' to select features in Florida
- When checking 2015 metadata for date, no date was found.
Opened text file associated with runway.shp and found date of
June 2015 at the end of the text file. Checked RUNWAY_2014.shp
to compare dates and found a publication date of June 2014.
- The original shapefile was projected in GCS_WGS_1984. Reprojected the
shapefile to Albers Conical Equal Area (fgdl_square) using the
WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida
transformation.
- Added DESCRIPT field based on FULLNAME
- Added FGDLAQDATE field and populated it based on the date
GeoPlan received the data
- Restructured table by reducing field lengths to better suit data
- Uppercased all fields
NOTE: Found that the margin of error was higher than 0.005
between 2015 and 2014 shapefiles because GeoPlan switched
transformation methods in January of 2015. Tested this by
transforming original 2015 data using the old transformation method
and comparing it to the 2014 ETAT shapefile. Future transformation
of this data should line up with the newest transformation.
2015 shapefile missing FULLNAME field. Used summary statistics to
Compare unique IDs between the SITENUMBER field in runways_proj
And SITENO in in RUNWAY_2014. All values determined to be unique.
Joined table based on SITENUMBER and SITENO. Populated FULLNAME
Field in runways_proj with FULLNAME from RUNWAY_2014. Removed
Join.
Attribute table changed from 2014 to 2015. 2015 table missing some
2014 fields. Some field names changed.
SITENUMBER = SITENO
LIGHTSEDGE = RWYLGHTS
STATEABBV = FAA_ST

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. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
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:
