Background:49 U.S.C 40103, “Sovereignty and Use of Airspace,” authorizes and directs the FAA to develop plans and policy for the use of the navigable airspace. The National Flight Data Center (NFDC) is the authoritative government source for collecting, validating, storing, maintaining, and disseminating aeronautical data concerning the United States and its territories to support real-time aviation activities. The information collected ensures the safe and efficient navigation of the national airspace. The information collected includes, but is not limited to, data regarding airport associated city, CTAF, UNICOM, facility use, runway lighting, airport sketches and diagrams, proposed aircraft call signs, and general remarks. NFDC collects this information and maintains it in the National Airspace System resources (NASR) database. NASR serves as the official repository for NAS data and is provided to government, military, and private producers of aeronautical databases, chants, publications, flight management systems, and in-flight tracking products at no charge. Information will be collected via digital forms. Failure to collect this information would result in obsolete and inaccurate data being reflected on aviation products.
