Replacement for DAFIF Airspace Data

JL and I think alike. I ended up using the widest runway too for the
runway specified in the length field, and I also specified the longest
runway if more than one at that width.

The descriptions look like this:

"12/30 2000x50ft DIRT"
"C122.8 U122.8 100LL 10/28 4000x75ft ASPH-E"
"C126.1 U122.95 100LL 04L/22R 4401x75ft ASPH-G 04R/22L 4870x75ft ASPH-
G"
"03L/21R 10012x150ft ASPH 03R/21L 9904x150ft CONC"

From left to right, they contain:

[CTAF-freq] [UNICOM-freq(s)] [100LL] [Runway1 ...]

... where each Runway looks like

[Designation LxWft Surface]

... and in many cases only one or two of the first three fields have
values.

It's obvious, which is good, except for the E and G after ASPH (for
"asphalt" I assume): G = grass/gravel/?; E = ??

From the database descriptionator:

RUNWAY SURFACE TYPE AND CONDITION
CONC - PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE
ASPH - ASPHALT OR BITUMINOUS CONCRETE
SNOW - SNOW
ICE - ICE
MATS - PIERCED STEEL PLANKING; LANDING
MATS; MEMBRANES
TREATED - OILED; SOIL CEMENT OR LIME STABILIZED
GRAVEL - GRAVEL; CINDERS; CRUSHED ROCK;
CORAL OR SHELLS; SLAG
TURF - GRASS; SOD
DIRT - NATURAL SOIL
WATER - WATER
E - EXCELLENT CONDITION
G - GOOD CONDITION
F - FAIR CONDITION
P - POOR CONDITION
L - FAILED CONDITION

THE VALUE CAN BE ANY ONE OF THOSE DESCRIBED
ABOVE OR A COMBINATION OF TWO TYPES WHEN
THE RUNWAY IS COMPOSED OF DISTINCT SECTIONS.

THE SURFACE TYPE IS OPTIONALLY FOLLOWED BY
A CONDITION INDICATOR.
