Flight Path Creator
8/21/11



Flight Path Creator is an easy-to-use tool for quickly creating a "flight path" for UAV or other similar applications. The goal was to have such a program that could output a set of latitude and longitude coordinates, along with a flight altitude. The flight altitude is based on a fixed distance above ground level (AGL) that the user can set, which is added to the actual terrain elevation at the particular points the user selects. The proper name for this altitude is True altitude, or altitude above mean sea level (MSL).
