The database is logically grouped into nine subject areas, roughly corresponding to the data sources. The data is continually updated once a month or more often as new data becomes available.
Every effort is made to insure the data is correct, but there is no guarantee regarding accuracy or timeliness. In no event should this data be used for flight operations.
