Abstract: Data downloaded from the USDOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics Open Data Catalog and clipped to Volusia County plus the surrounding area.  It was then saved as a local file in SPC FL E NAD83. A Coast Guard facility in Ponce Inlet and a private airport in Osteen were added as they were not included. Some attribute fields were removed, and some points were moved based on visual inspection of aerial photography.

The Airports dataset includes all official and operational aerodromes as of July 16, 2020 and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The Airports database is a geographic point database of official operational aerodromes in the United States and U.S. Territories. Attribute data is provided on the physical and operational characteristics of the aerodrome, current usage including enplanements and aircraft operations, congestion levels and usage categories. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data Product.
