Overview

This repo contains my logbook for all igc recorded flights. It is intended to be consumed programatically. The best way to view this is on my website at https://www.scottyob.com/flying

Currently, all non-igc recorded flights live @ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-rd2b-_l5IgavBxVe50O817AjAbI5qAVc0leU2bxUM8/edit?usp=sharing

Installing and creating the launches database

1. First setup the environment

$ python3 -m venv /tmp/launches
$ . /tmp/launches/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Download the launches database from Paraglidingspots and unzip it

unzip ~/Downloads/launches.kmz

3. Generate the launches JSON file

 python gen-launches.py doc.kml > launches.json

Create a list of sites

A lot of launches in this database will look something like

TO (SW) Mission... TO (WNW-SW) Ed Levin_2

The interesting part of this would be "Mission" or "Ed Levin", so the goal is storing sites.json is to store a list of strings containing site names that are used as a substring match.

See launches.json for the modifications used in the web frontends.
