I have updated the Special Use Airspace, Military Training Routes, and AWOS KML files. There have been significant changes in the FAA Data Files. It looks like the FAA Airports file is now providing data to other agencies in the Executive Branch, so there are several more record types to sort out. It looks interesting, so I'm going to take a look at it. I need to rewrite a little code and adjust the SQL tables. Thus the airports KML file is not done yet. (It's not a big deal -- the entire codebase is just string manipulation and SQL queries.)
Also, Military Training Routes are still not validated. I have no idea how accurate they are because I can't find the data in other forms.
Finally, the new AWOS file is AWOS data from the AWOS file only. Previously, it had included airports' AWOS data. Now it doesn't. On the upside, it does inlclude previously not-included AWOS-only stations. If you're wondering what those are, open it up and look at the Gulf of Mexico. There are two entries for each comment.
I really need to figure out the new XML airspace schema.
NOT FOR NAVIGATION.
