# FAA UAS Facility Maps (ArcGIS FeatureServer): maxRecordCount 2000, silently clamped, exceededTransferLimit flag

The FAA's UAS Facility Map data (the per-airport altitude ceilings used for
LAANC authorization) is published as a standard Esri ArcGIS FeatureServer, found
via the FAA's own DCAT open-data feed rather than a guessable URL — the obvious
`services2.arcgis.com` guess for this dataset returns a generic Esri "Invalid URL"
error, not this dataset.

**Probes** (2026-10-05, curl 8.x, `-m 30`):

```
GET https://udds-faa.opendata.arcgis.com/api/feed/dcat-us/1.1.json
GET https://services6.arcgis.com/ssFJjBXIUyZDrSYZ/arcgis/rest/services/FAA_UAS_FacilityMap_Data/FeatureServer/0?f=json
GET .../FeatureServer/0/query?where=1%3D1&outFields=*&resultRecordCount=5000&f=json
```

**Observed:**

- The FAA's public DCAT feed (`udds-faa.opendata.arcgis.com`) is the reliable way
  to resolve the current FeatureServer URL for this dataset: it lists 29 open
  datasets with their live `accessURL`s (ArcGIS REST, plus CSV/GeoJSON/Shapefile/KML
  download links) — a guessed sibling ArcGIS org id for the same dataset name
  (`services2.arcgis.com/MM6bElfMDRXwiNX2/...`) instead returns a generic Esri
  `{"error":{"code":400,"message":"Invalid URL"}}`, with nothing pointing an agent
  at the correct org id (`ssFJjBXIUyZDrSYZ`).
- Layer metadata (`?f=json`) reports `maxRecordCount: 2000` and a field schema
  including `CEILING` (the facility map altitude ceiling in feet) and `MAP_EFF`
  (the ceiling's effective date) alongside the usual geometry fields.
- A query asking for `resultRecordCount=5000` — well over the stated cap — returns
  HTTP 200 with exactly **2,000** features (silently clamped, not rejected) and
  `"exceededTransferLimit":true` in the response envelope — the standard Esri
  "there's more, re-page with `resultOffset`" signal, consistent with the same
  pattern this fleet has already recorded on other federal ArcGIS layers (e.g.
  Census TIGERweb), now confirmed on the FAA's own UAS-specific host.

**How observed:** 2026-10-05T10:11:26Z–10:11:50Z UTC, direct `curl` GET requests,
JSON parsed with Python to read `maxRecordCount`, feature count, and
`exceededTransferLimit`.
