A new online tool that lets you plot an aircraft's flight path using basic flight data is now available on the ATSB website.

The ATSB 'KML Creator' uses a  spreadsheet of recorded flight parameters (latitude, longitude and altitude) in csv format to create a flight path you can view in Google Earth. The KML Creator can also create a display of other aircraft  parameters relevant to the flight on the same screen.

The ATSB recently demonstrated the KML Creator in Singapore and received a high level of interest from airline safety and investigation agencies. As a result, you can now download KML Creator for free from the ATSB website.
