Maybe the screenshot below from this morning helps to understand the data above a little more. The selected flight here is PBN81
from Christchurch to Brisbane (small white circle on right of plot), and it was plotting at 362.7 nm out (671.7 km), however it was not updating the Polar plot. I
am guessing that flights like this one tracking across, and outside the Polar plot are not included for whatever reason. There
are probably rules that define how the Polar plot is built, and maybe some flights just fall outside these rules.
The last flight on the list, Air Canada B772 C-FIVK, plots as the blue dot just outside the 295nm ring at about 48 degrees. This
confirms that the radar rings
are reasonably accurate, and that the long range flights in the data above have just not plotted.
Either way, I could not be happier with how the RadarBox and LMR-400 Coax are performing, a 393.7 nm (729.1 km) plot is just
amazing.
