MH370 Toolkit A

Zip file here: https://sites.google.com/site/leftfieldgeomatics/toolkita/Toolkit%20A.zip?attredirects=0&d=1

I've just done this between classes today. Please leave suggestions... I'm especially looking for waypoints for the next toolkit.


I've created/compiled a series of shapefiles for use in tracking down Flight MH370. The Zip File includes:

ReachableAirWithinArc.shp -

Airport points including codes of airports within 4400 kilometres of KUL & 150 km of the "final ping"'s arc

KUL.shp -

Kuala Lumpur Airport

Waypoints.shp -

Known waypoints used by MH370

KnownPath.shp -

Known path between KUL & waypoints

Inmarsat.shp -

Location of the Inmarsat satellite

FuelLimit.shp -

Polygon radiating 4400 km from KUL

LastPing.shp -

Polyline of Inmarsat's "Last Ping" arc

ReachableAir.shp -

Airport points within 4400 km of KUL.

ReachableNations.shp -

National borders within 4400 km of KUL, just for reference.


SOURCES:

Everything has been derived from three sources:

Airport files are from OpenFlights: http://www.openflights.org/data.html

Some shapefiles have been converted from the KMZ file located here: http://ogleearth.com/2014/03/flight-mh370-search-data-in-google-earth/

National borders are from GeoCommons: http://geocommons.com/overlays/33578
