[BUG] FAA registry format change #4

Closed aadeabreu closed 3 years ago

aadeabreu commented 3 years ago

FAA seems to have added new columns in the aircraft reference file causing issues while running /matlab/utilities-1stparty/RUN_readfaaacreg.m

/matlab/utilities-1stparty/aircraftregistry/readfaaacreg.m needs to be updated to read new format (as of 07/2021)

The Download Documentation (PDF) for file content and configuration of the aircraft registration master file was last updated on 12/03/2020. I compared the most recent version to the older version of the documentation dated 3/26/2019. I identified two additional fields at to the aircraft reference file, which includes the record length to 158 characters from 89 characters. From the 12/3/2020 documentation, the two new elements are the following:

Element Position Location in Record Number of Positions Descriptions
TC Data Sheet 90 - 105 15 Type Certificate Data Sheet
TC Data Holder 107 - 157 50 Type Certificate Data Holder

Commit 016158a by @aadeabreu appropriately the textscan in readfaaacreg to scan fields of length 15 and 50.
