FAA Airport Data and Information

This collection is for reporting aeronautical data by Federal, State, or contract inspectors (for public-use airports) or airport owners and managers (for private-use airports). The data is mandatory, public in nature and the agency's source for the information used in aeronautical and flight information publications. It is used by various entities of the civil and military aeronautical communities. Other users of the data include private industry, aviation associations, state agencies (state airport directories, aeronautical publications, and system planning), and other government agencies (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency). Airport Master Record (5010) data is collected under the Airport Data and Information Program on an as needed basis, but the goal is to obtain a yearly update of all airports on record with the FAA either through physical inspection, self-reporting by airport management or mail solicitation. Data from private-use airports is currently collected every 3 years. The 5010 forms (5010-1, 5010-2, 5010-3, and 5010-5) identify location, airport ownership and management, services available, based aircraft, facilities, operations, runway data, lighting and approach aids, obstruction data, declared distances, remarks, and inspection data. If this data were not collected, U.S. government aeronautical and flight information publications such as sectional aeronautical charts, Airport/Facility Directories, and other flight information manuals could not be produced or maintained.
