The only problem with it is it isn't real time. The current flights are shown 40 minutes late. Still, it is better than nothing.

Pay the 25 Euros and get PlanePlotter which is real time.

Does anyone know what the moving 'Beacon' symbols are - they seem to do tight circuits at low altitude?

'Beacon' appears to represent a transponder squawk code. Most are squawking VFR code 1200. Is it possible that it is because these have no flight plan filed, or maybe it has something to do with the level of ident sent in their ADS-B signal?

VFR aircraft not currently under RADAR surveillance.

My understanding is that the login that was published on PPRune was not originally intended for public consumption, but for Airservices internal use. A different level of access was to be available publically. Looks like the same data either way now. As it's designed for noise issues no tracks are shown above 10,000 feet THe mention of ADS-B in the thread has me curious... at this stage I *think* the noise monitoring system that supplies this data doesn't have ADS-B info sent to it. But I could be wrong! :-) Official public link is now via here: http://www.airservices.gov.au/aviati...se/default.asp

WebTrak is quite a good representation of the activity in and around YSSY and YSBK (another useful resource). The Robinson R44 departed YSSY and then tracked up the coast and the VFR aircraft out of Bankstown squak 1200 on their Transponder. I like the way you can bring up the small window for each aircraft and show the altitude changing as the track (the line to the aircraft also moves with it). I don't know whether there is a limitation on the number of individual windows, as these would not appear from new aircraft after a while.
I was thinking of doing a Harbour Scenic 1 tomorrow morning so it will be interesting to have a look and see what happens when I get the clearance and a new squak code. I assume it will still show as General Aviation but with the new clearance code.

W/t not working this morning?
I'm just getting an error message that initialisation failed and language was not loaded.
Anyone else seen that? Update: must have been transitory as it's working 5 mins later

Webtrak idiosyncrasy?
Quote:
One oddity is that the Webtrak display of the CX flight path disappears for about 60 seconds, which seems to me to be the time that they were all in overlapping flight paths, albeit well separated vertically. Is this a Webtrak limitation, or my imagination, or just a flukey event?
