      5 Right now there's only one really useful function, `distanceFromPath()`. This 
      6 measures the distance between an actual flight track (a matrix of long/lat data 
      7 at each time point) and a flight path (a matrix of long/lat data at each 
      8 waypoint). Horizontal and vertical distance are returned separately.
      9 
     10 The helper function `maxDistanceFromPath()` finds the horizontal and vertical
     11 distance at the point of maximum "slant range" (i.e., Euclidean distance).
