The Little Arrow That Could
I've been working on a search utility for a year that I'm going to make public in the next few weeks. As a hobby spin-off I'm dedicating part of the site to just aviation. It doesn't make me any money, just doing it for fun. I previously polled the PoA community in other threads asking about aviation data -- and it was for this.
I already contracted a data-entry guy collect data for planes (performance characteristics, attributes, engine type, etc) to make it easily searchable. That data is now loaded for a lot of SEP, MEP and turboprops. Though it's by no means exhaustive.
Are there other things people would want to search for in aerospace? I was thinking of maybe trying to load in some accident data, airport databases (the kind of stuff you'd see on airnav or foreflight), updated wx data or even IFR plates? Some of the data exists already in FAA databases as premade data products, it's just not always the easiest to find. The goal of this utility is to kind of pull it all together and make it easily retrievable.
Any other things people could envision themselves searching that's aviation related?
