Use the property browser to navigate to /ai (2nd entry from the top in the screenshot below): http://wiki.flightgear.org/Property_browser



This will tell you the location/name and type of each entry.

Next, you can use arbitrary I/O means to access those properties and send them to another process - e.g. via the mongoose/httpd bindings (web sockets), the generic protocol, telnet/props etc.

You can also use Nasal scripting (built-in Flightgear scripting language) to do all of this easily:

(It's really just 5 lines of code to do this)

Note that the questions posed in the first response are still perfectly valid - i.e. you can get much better answers by providing a little surrounding context.
