FGDATA has already a file Airports/apt.dat.ws3.gz with more up-to-date data.
The apt.dat doesn't contain nav aids tho... so I guess, there hasn't been any work on nav data just yet.
I guess best would be to ask this on the mailing list and get a responce from Scott and/or Stuart.

Do note that unfortunately publicly available is not always the same as available for use in derivative works.*

But while you can register to download data, the license, CC BY-NC-SA 3.0,[1] is not compatible with the GPLv2[2] of FlightGear, so the data can not be used to build new .dat files to be included in FlightGear.

The last part we need to have all of the core dev's on board.
and sale the data/maps if it use for real world navigation.
First i have navigraph and i have no problem if flight gear start to get have hookups for navigraph data.

And the idea that we start our own navdata provider is just an idea.
