National Flight Data Center Web Portal

NFDC Web Portal forms are used to collect aeronautical information, detailing the physical description and operational status of all components of the National Airspace System (NAS). The information is distributed via the National Flight Data Digest (NFDD), a daily publication available at no charge to the general public, government, military, and private producers of aeronautical publications. (https://nfdc.faa.gov/nfdcApps/services/publicData/nfdd.jsp). The information is used to update government, military, and private aeronautical database, charts, publications, and flight management systems. This includes all Airport Metadata, NAVAID, ATC Communication for Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs), Terminal Radar Approach Control Facilities (TRACON) and Flight Service Station (FSS) Facilities. Reporting of this information in mandatory, i.e. airport operators are required to submit any changes to their facilities that might appear on aeronautical charts or publications (e.g. runway extensions or lighting changes). This is considered to be reporting of information vs. recordkeeping or disclosure. Information is collected on a continual basis.
