Flight Data corresponding to a volume of space in the air

Hello,

As part of the firehose ‘initiation command’, is it possible to generally define a “volume” of space in the air to extract flight data from? For example, if I like to first define a circle of 5 mile radius around an airport and then extend it up to 5000ft high in the air to define a cylindrical space, is it possible?

Thanks in advance,
Satish

You can use the latlong command to define a box (or polygon for more complex shapes) to limit volume of aircraft you are receiving positions for.
