- Abstract
- United States Airport Runways, 2008 is line theme representing airport runways in the United States and US territories. Attributei information includes information on the physical characteristics of the runways. The 6073 runways in the dataset are runways associated with the 20347 airports in the companion airport data set. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data Product (Effective 18 January 2008).
- Purpose
- This data provides users with information about the runway locations and attributes for national and regional analysis applications.

- Data Quality Information
- Attribute Accuracy Report
- Data were obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data. This product was published by the Aeronautical Information Services with an Effective Date of 18 January 2008.
- Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment
- 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.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- Horizontal positional accuracy is based on coordinate data provided in the FAA National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Dataset (Effective 18 January 2008). 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.
