Data Providers: Aircraft: Flight Profile By Down Range

Aircraft: Flight Profile By Down Range

Flight data sampled using a constant downrange distance between grid points. Note: the downrange for a hovering aircraft will not increment as the time increments, meaning that vertical lines can appear on graphs using this data provider. This report style is only available for Aviator propagated vehicles.

Type: Fixed data. Intended to be used only with elements from this same data provider.
