Importing flights #94

Description

@fiffty-50

An interface for automatically importing flight data is desirable. This is something I am planning on introducing after the initial release due to its complexity.

There are several ways of doing this

Importing and parsing a PDF

  • very complex, lots of different formats, PDF parsing breaks easily with minor changes
  • probably a nightmare to maintain, requires constant care

Accessing a flight tracker API

  • FlightRadar24 or similar
  • Should contain all the basic data required (OOOI, Registration, Departure, Destination,...)
  • Should require little maintenance once implemented
  • Problem: Most APIs have a commercial license ($$$)
