| Originator | Metropolitan Council |
| Abstract | This layer attempts to depicts approximate airport ownership boundaries, (not the area actually used for the airport) for the Twin Cities metropolitan area. For example, MSP includes an area that is a golf course. Also, as of 3/3/97, boundaries are not up-to-date for MSP, Airlake, Flying Cloud and Anoka County/Blaine. NOTES: - Only airports in the Regional Airport System are included. Small, private airports are not included. - The original airports layer came from the 1990 land use data. Then modifications were made to include approximate airport ownership boundaries. This additonal boundary information was digitized from county plat maps and comprehensive plans. The MSP boundary was digitized from the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). |

| Attribute Accuracy | ||||
| Logical Consistency | The dataset is topologically 'clean'. | |||
| Completeness | Entire seven county geographic area is covered. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | The positional accuracy of the dataset has not been tested under the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy. The positional accuracy of the dataset is UNKNOWN. | |||
| Lineage | Only airports in the Regional Airport System are included. Small, private airports are not included nor is the former international airport search area. That information can be found in the airpts-oth layer. The original airports layer came from the land use data. Then modifications were made to include actual airport ownership boundaries. This additonal boundary information was digitized from county plat maps and comprehensive plans. The MSP boundary was digitized from the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). |
