Abstract
Described is a system and method for displaying flight track data. The system and method include a data feed arrangement to receive target data points from a first data source and a second data source, a data receiving arrangement correlating target data points from the first data source with corresponding target data points received from the second data source, the correlation being based on location and time information in the target data points, a data analyzing arrangement to analyze the target data points and correlated data points and store each target data point and correlating data point in a target flight record, the target flight record corresponding to a target aircraft, a data generation arrangement to generate a flight track for the target aircraft using the data stored in the target flight record, wherein the flight track includes a first portion generated from the first data source and a second portion generated from the correlated target data points and a data distribution arrangement to organize the flight track into a displayable file and distribute the file to users of the system, wherein the displayable file is displayed on a graphical user interface including t…
