# The Art of the Possible:

# Leveraging GIS for Flight Tracking with Esri and FlightAware

## On-Demand Webinar

Submit your contact information below to watch the webinar.

## **Duration: 60 minutes**

At any given time there are over 13,000 aircraft in the sky. What can appear to be chaos in the sky is actually a careful orchestration of delivering passengers and goods to their destination efficiently. The abundance of flight track data can create challenges in understanding the patterns behind the data. Leveraging ArcGIS can reveal those patterns hidden in FlightAware data to unlock the stories the data has to offer.  Discover the art and science of what is possible with ArcGIS coupled with high-volume flight track data by FlightAware to create better understanding and better decision-making.  

## What You'll Learn 

- What data is available in FlightAware Firehose API
- How to connect FlightAware to ArcGIS (Exposure to the technologies in play) 
    - What you need to get started (Firehose/ArcGIS)
- What visualizations can be created with ArcGIS and FlightAware 
    - 2D, 3D, and applications
- How to gain insights from both live and historical flight data to inform decision-making

Live Demonstration and overview of: 

- Safely integrate UAS into airspace by analyzing historical flight tracks to identify drone corridors
- Integrating FlightAware data for real-time GIS analysis and decision making
- Using historical data for smart airport planning
- See examples below
