This dataset contains the records of all the flights in the Northern California TRACON. The data was provided by the aircraft noise abatement office (http://www.flyquietsfo.com/) of San Francisco International Airport.
The data cover Jan-Mar 2006. It is organized by day and flight. Each record contains some information about the flight and a sequence of 3D position and estimated speed.

This data contains thousands of trajectories that can be used for trajectory clustering. The data is used by the Aircraft Noise Abatement Office
to analyze the trajectories of aircraft flying in and out SFO. The objective is to minimize the noise pollution due to aircraft in the San Francisco Bay Area

The files have the extension "lt6" and are organized as follow, one file per day.
