Public Use Airport Runways - Data Dictionary
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 5527 runways in the dataset are runways associated with the 20362 airports in the companion airport data set. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data Product (Effective 16 February 2006).
Purpose: This data provides users with information about the runway locations and attributes for national and regional analysis applications.
