Used sources for this project

In order to make this project functional according to ATC legislation. Following sources were used. Be aware that some aspects had to be changed a little bit, to make the development more easier (callsigns, ultralight category acceptance, etc.). In the future, the ideal state of the project would be that the software would be compliant to all ATC rules regarding most of the regions (ICAO and FAA sometimes differ in their regulations). But be aware that this is going to take a time before we approach this goal.

* The simulation currently calculates all the movement based on the values from B737-800 plane. This plane was chosen because it had open technical data and also because it was one of the most used commercial planes. In future, this is definitely going to change and the simulator will be supporting more planes to make simulation more diverse
