This new version of the Flight Path Tool runs as an application instead
of an applet. It supports all of the same features found in the old
Flight Path Tool plus:
a fully resizable map
map printing and export
saving configuration between sessions
semi-transparent data layers
customizable contour intervals
preview of available data sets
fine-grained animation control
saving cross-section paths
and more...
Download the new Tutorial
(PDF Version) for a preview of the application, and to provide some
guidance on how to use the tool. This documentation is also available
in HTML format, through the "FYI / Help" button above.
Although the Flight Path Tool is fairly large to download
(approximately 6.8 MB), it remains cached on your local system for
faster startups in the future. For slow internet connections (28.8 to
56K modems), it will likely take several minutes to load the first
time. We think you'll find the wait worthwhile.
Please ensure you have the latest security patches for your OS and the
most recent Java Runtime Environment
(look for a button labelled "Java Software Download").
