Most flight trajectories can be described with perfectly fine accuracy by a low number of consecutive line segments. But yeah, storing raw radar points in some RDS is going to slow you right down. I wouldn't put signal sample data into Postgres either.

We simplify the tracks as much as possible (and convert to a geometry rather than store as raw data) but once you are in the terminal area there is a lot of value in retaining the full data set - especially when you start analyzing things like RNAV/PBN procedures or mapping noise contours.
