Getting Started

When you first log into the Facility Level Information on Greenhouse Gases GreenHouse gases Tool (FLIGHT), you will be presented with Important Information about this Data Set and three search options:

...

To view a comprehensive list of reporting facilities in the U.S. and their associated emission emissions totals, click the "View All US Facility Data" box.

...

Use the search filters to the left and right above the map to filter the data by Data Year, Data Type, and GHG or Emission Emissions Range. Use the search bar at the top left to perform custom searches for locations or specific facilities.

...

The table at the bottom of the screen contains emissions and facility count data aggregated by sector for facilities that meet your filter criteria. You may use the checkboxes in the table to filter out specific sectors or subpartssource categories. All sectors and subparts source categories are initially selected by default. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems, Chemicals, Other, Waste, Metals, Minerals, and Pulp and Paper sectors capture multiple subpartssource categories. To view and/or filter by these subpartssource categories, mouse-over the gray gear icon next to the sector name in the table.

*Map*
Mouse-over a facility icon on the map to display summary information for that facility and click the icon to show detailed information on that facility. Round blackblue icons on the map represent multiple facilities in close proximity to each other. The number in the center of each blue icon represents the count of facilities in that area. Click the buttons in the lower right of the map to quickly find areas outside the continental US, such as Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
