Pre-processed FAA NASR airspace GeoJSON snapshot for use with @squawk/airspace
Maintainers
Readme
Pre-processed GeoJSON snapshot of US airspace geometry from the 2026-04-16 FAA NASR
cycle. Data only - no query logic, no dependency on
@squawk/airspace.
Part of the @squawk aviation library suite. See all packages on npm.
Coverage
- Class B, C, D, and E controlled airspace (E2 through E7 subtypes)
- Special Use Airspace: MOAs, restricted, prohibited, warning, alert, and national security areas
- ARTCC (Air Route Traffic Control Center) lateral boundaries for all US-controlled centers, published per stratum (LOW/HIGH/UTA, plus oceanic CTA/FIR where applicable)
Usage
import { usBundledAirspace } from '@squawk/airspace-data';
// Inspect metadata
console.log(usBundledAirspace.properties.nasrCycleDate); // YYYY-MM-DD
console.log(usBundledAirspace.properties.featureCount);
// Use with @squawk/airspace for zero-config airspace queries
import { createAirspaceResolver } from '@squawk/airspace';
const resolver = createAirspaceResolver({ data: usBundledAirspace });Consumers who have their own data pipeline can use @squawk/airspace alone and
pass any compatible GeoJSON dataset at initialization.
Data format
The export is a GeoJSON FeatureCollection. Each feature's geometry is a Polygon
representing one airspace boundary. Feature properties include:
| Property | Type | Description |
| --------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| type | string | Airspace type (CLASS_B, CLASS_C, CLASS_D, CLASS_E2-E7, MOA, RESTRICTED, ARTCC, etc.) |
| name | string | Human-readable name |
| identifier | string | NASR designator, airport identifier, or 3-letter ARTCC code |
| floor | AltitudeBound | Lower vertical bound |
| ceiling | AltitudeBound | Upper vertical bound |
| state | string or null | Two-letter US state abbreviation |
| controllingFacility | string or null | Controlling ARTCC or facility (null for ARTCC features) |
| scheduleDescription | string or null | Operating schedule text |
| artccStratum | ArtccStratum or null | For ARTCC features, the stratum (LOW, HIGH, UTA, CTA, FIR, CTA/FIR); null for all other types |
AltitudeBound is { valueFt: number, reference: 'MSL' | 'AGL' | 'SFC' }.
Data source
All geometry and metadata is derived from the FAA National Airspace System Resource
(NASR) 28-day subscription, which is public domain. Class B/C/D/E
boundaries come from the NASR ESRI Shapefile, SUA boundaries from the AIXM
5.0 XML files, and ARTCC boundaries from the ARB_BASE.csv and
ARB_SEG.csv tables in the NASR CSV distribution. The build pipeline that
produces this dataset lives in tools/build-airspace-data.
