flightpaths
Planes' planned trajectories
Flightpaths are the routes aircraft follow through the air, whether planned trajectories filed with air traffic control or the actual courses traced during flight.
The term extends to any aerial route: The flightpaths of migrating geese cross over the lake each autumn.
Also spelled as two words: flight paths.
