- Abstract
- The Public Use 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 5314 runways in the dataset are runways associated with the 20074 airports in the companion airport data set. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data Product (Effective 20 January 2005).
- 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 20 January 2005.
- Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment
- Logical Consistency Report
- All linear features in this data set are straight lines. RWY_ID is the unique identifier for each record in the dataset. There may be more than one runway (RWY_ID) located at a single airport. Airports can be individually identified by the landing facility location identifier (LOCID) or by the site number (SITE_NO) 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 5314 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 20 January 2005). 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.

- Attributes
-
- LOCID
- A unique 3-4 character identifier assigned to the landing facility (i.e. airport). (List of Official LOCID CodesFAA)
- FULLNAME
- Official name of the runway's airport. (List of Official Airport NamesFAA)
- UNIQUE_ID
- Site number concatenate with the Runway ID (Character String)
- FIPS
- Primary State FIPS Code (Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), Publication 6-4National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST))
- SITE_NO
- A unique identifying number followed by an asterisk and the 'landing facility type' code. The SITE_NO forms the key to the airport records in the NFDC (5010) database. Example: 04508.*A (List of Official Airport Site NumbersFAA)
- ST_POSTAL
- Runway state post office code (List of Official U.S. State and Territory Postal AbbreviationsU.S. Post Office)
- RWY_ID
- Runway unique identification code. For example: 01/19; 18L/36R (parallel runways); H1 (helipad); N/S (north/south); ALL/WAY (sealane); B1 (baloonport). (List of Official Runway CodesFAA)
- RWY_LEN
- The physical runway length, to the nearest foot. (Ex. 3500) (measured value)
- RWY_WITH
- The physical runway width, to the nearest foot. (Ex. 100) (measured value)
- RWY_SFC_TY
- Runway surface type and condition. (NOTE 1: Surface type can have one entry or a combination of two entries when the runway is composed of distinct sections.) (NOTE 2: The surface type is optionally followed by a condition indicator: G=Good Condition, F=Fair Condition, P=Poor Condition. Some valid examples for this attribute: ASPH-CONC, ASPH-F, ASPH-CONC-G)
- RWY_SFC_TR
- Runway Surface treatment
- PAV_CLASS_
- Pavement Classification Number (PCN): A rating system that expresses the relative load carrying capacity of a pavement in terms of a standard single wheel load. (A Numerical Value)
- RWY_LIGHTS
- Runway lights edge intensity
- VERSION
- The VERSION is a 2-digit number that will be incremented for all records in the database whenever a new release is distributed. In this release the value is 05. (00 to 99)
- REVISION
- REVISION is a 2-digit number that will be incremented individually for each record whenever a change is made to one of its fields. In this release the value is 00. (00 to 99)
