That is ultimately the goal. Having a ubiquitous metric for evaluating pilot performance when subject to different airspace/approaches/airport environments. Right now, I would be happy with reliable interpolation of spacial data. The broadcast packets are temporally inconsistent and the speed/altitude/heading are spread over more than one packet. So a simple interpolation only goes so far. I expect to have to write code to intelligently interpolate based on what aircraft can actually do. So no 3g turns in a transport airplane in the traffic pattern, etc. Once I have a functional model with the "tidy" ADS-B data, then the challenge will be making the process robust enough for mode S/C. It's a plan subject to change...
