Click here to get started with flute fingering charts : I think these are invaluable.

Wow: I knew in theory that D in the 4th octave was possible (Prokofiev), but not that there was a whole 4th octave! . . . and so many alternative fingerings: It reminds me of guitar chord charts, where they often give at least 6 ways to play any given chord and the trick is to find the shape that fits best with the flow.
