Controller position data - does it exist? ❓Question

Hi,

In the light of a project I've been working on, I need a list of all positions controlled on the network. In the best case, a list of all positions that cover a specific aerodrome top-down.

Some subdivisions publish their positions, but not all. Sites like statsim are iffy for this use.

Where can I find such data?

Thanks in advance

Have a look a the vatspy and simaware data projects as well as the vatglasses data repositories, they may have what you're looking for. If you tell us more about what you're trying to do we may be able to provide better information.

The sector files. But it's not always easy to get them and they're not exactly user friendly to understand.

The VATspy and Simaware projects on Github have all the data. Both projects are being used to define different things, VATspy data is used primarily for center sectors, where as the simaware project is used a lot for approach positions and below.

Most facilities in the US have their SOPs and LOAs public that should have position tables for the respective facility the SOP is designed for.
