faa_routes — FAA Preferred Routes (2010)
- Description
A network of air traffic control routes in the United States, constructed by the Ma'ayan Laboratory (Mount Sinai School of Medicine) from the Preferred Routes Database of the National Flight Data Center (NFDC) of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which lists the routes recommended for flights between airports. Each preferred route is a string of route elements, and a directed edge joins each element to the next one in a route string. Nodes are these elements, identified by their codes: airports, navigational aids and fixes, airways (e.g. Victor airways such as V162 and jet routes such as J10) and named standard terminal arrival routes (suffix
_STAR) and departure procedures (suffix_DP). The network was distributed in the laboratory's SIG flat file format, and was extracted from the database at an undocumented date before 2010; the FAA database is updated regularly, and its current version differs from this network.The network has the following properties:
- (Node)
name: the code of the route element (as used in the FAA database).
