> runway position/features/lighting, 
Lots of runway info:
Width, surface Type, lat/lon/alt of each end of all runways, light types
Visual glideslope type info.

taxiways, 
I don't think so.

tower positions, 
Possibly in the control facility file or as an obstruction??

hanger positions
No.


This is all of the top of me head and from data many years old.
