Abstract
United States Airports is a polygon theme representing airport grounds and airport runways within the United States. All airports have a boundary, and most have at least one runway.
Purpose
United States Airports provides the boundaries for thousands of airports and runways. There are many attributes that describe each airport, for example, location ID (airport code), owner, elevation, congestion level, large certified air carrier enplanements, foreign enplanements, hub size, and tower type.
Supplemental Information
Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:50,000.

Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then imported into a file geodatabase to verify, validate, and if needed repair the geometry.
Completeness Report
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
Horizontal positional accuracy is dependent on geographic area. In most areas, accuracy is between 5 and 25 meters (16 and 82 feet). In some areas, accuracy is off by up to several tens of meters (100 feet or more). In the poorest areas, accuracy is off by up to 100 meters (328 feet).
