UAE419 today
 
Planeplotter is showing UAE419 today crom CHC to SYD at A6-EKX - an A330-300!

Is this correct?!!!

Hi Lee,

Todays UAE419 is 773 A6-ECE

Lee G 13th May 2010 04:40 PM

Must be an incorrect hex code in planeplotter then..... it's just over the top of YSSY now.

Yup - just got a visual on it from the house - definately a 777 (damn you technology!)

I could have told you a long time agpo that Eyeball MkII is better than all this fang dangled techno stuff!

Lee, just checked my SBS database for yesterday's UAE419 and shows it was A6-ECE (B77W) with hexcode 89610C. So it wasn't me. :rolleyes:

PlanePlotter displays the feeds from a few sharers in the Sydney basin from either their Kinetic SBS or RadarBox receivers. It would seem that one of the sharers' database has the wrong rego entered for that a/c and PP has picked up that incorrect rego and displayed it unfortunately.

Noel,

Appreciate the reply - I guess the guy with the incorrect data will only know who they are when they check their logs - one day I'll get me one of them "fang dangled techno things" as Nigel describes it! :D

Eyeball MkII only has a range of 10NM, Nigel ... I need better goggles!:D

Nigel C 14th May 2010 01:32 PM

Perhaps try Mark III? I had mine lasered late last year and they see fine to 20Nm now:D

Crikey, you could see my place from the airport.

Nigel C 14th May 2010 07:25 PM

I can find spiders on the runways during the midnight runway inspections...is that good enough for you?
:p

And no, I'm not joking.
