- Abstract
- United States Public-Use Airports 2013 is a point theme representing airports in the United States in 2013. Attribute data is provided on the physical and operational characteristics of the landing facility, current usage including enplanements and aircraft operations, congestion levels and usage categories. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data Product.
- Purpose
- The dataset provides users with information about airport locations and attributes and can be used for national and regional analysis applications.

- Data Quality Information
- Attribute Accuracy Report
- Airport attributes were obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data and the Office of Airline Information (OAI) Enplanement Data. The FAA Data was published by the Aeronautical Information Services with an Effective Date of March 17, 2013. All records were assigned the accurate state name, state abbreviation and FIPS code.
- Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment
- Logical Consistency Report
- All point records in this dataset are represented by a single coordinate pair and two unique feature identifiers -- the landing facility location identifier (LOCID) and the site number (SITE_NO) assigned by the FAA. 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
- unknown
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- Horizontal positional accuracy is based on coordinate data provided in the FAA National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Dataset. 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. The records were loaded into a GIS and checked for any unusual or obviously erroneous locations.
