I am working on a project for school, and I am trying to find past flight data concerning the altitude of the aircraft over the duration of the flight. This will then be used to identify contrails in a Landsat image.

I can find past departures and arrivals easy enough, and Flight Aware keeps a record of altitude for flights from the past 7 days, but I'm looking for flights possibly back to a year in the past. Is it possible to get this information? Of course, the source has to be official and stand up to legal scrutiny.

    Possible downvotes because it seems to be outside the scope of travel.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic

    Have you contacted FlightAware to see if they're willing to provide you the data? If you make a very specific and limited request, they might waive any fees for an educational use.

    Official ... legal scrutiny ... for a school project?

    This question appears to be off-topic because it is about aviation data, not travel
