More updated information, world-wide, no obstructions, GPX format, which may
need to be converted to a format for your import/export software (see
Topographix website): http://navaid.com/GPX/
FAA GeoTIFF sectionals: http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA_sectionals/
Oziexplorer: www.oziexplorer.com

The DAFIF includes world-wide coverage for larger airports and virtually all
navaids:

The information is available both in fixed-length field files and in
tab-delimited files (suitable for importing into a spreadsheet). I've used
the DAFIF to generate custom GPS Canadian aviation databases.

The FAA database, which has more detail for the U.S. (but nothing for the
rest of the world), is available on a CD-ROM, but people occasionally make
online copies available. Here's a mirror of both the DAFIF and the FAA NASD:
