All times posted by this bot are in local time for the airport (unless otherwise noted).
We get our data from a few sources:
- Real time delay information from the FAA's Airport Status API (https://nasstatus.faa.gov/api/airport-status-information).
- Airport name and location information from OurAirports (https://github.com/davidmegginson/ourairports-data)
- Map data/imagery from OpenStreetMap
- Radar imagery from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet of Iowa State University (https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/GIS/ridge.phtml)
  - Data provided under Public Domain (https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/disclaimer.php)
- State boundaries from Natural Earth
  - Data provided under Public Domain (https://www.naturalearthdata.com/about/terms-of-use/)
A lot of the terminology used in the API is referenced in the FAA Glossary.
Data is refreshed every minute from the FAA API. This means that the bot will post a new status within 60 seconds of the FAA reporting a delay.
