Default ADSB iPhone App

Plane Finder is an iPhone App that allows adsb viewing here in Australia.

Might be worth a look at, and if you have a box to uplink your data to the application, the better this might end up being...

I have used it for a couple of months now, and love it.

But it only has live flights for Sydney and Melbourne. It would be great if we could see Adelaide or Perth come a long.

P.S: You can view it on mac or pc for free: http://www.planefinder.net/

Is it just me, or have the Melbourne flights disappeared from this application over the past few days??

They are back now, Mark Davies provides the data for Melbourne and he has told me that he will be stopping it in August.

Shame

That IS a pity..I was just starting to get really hooked on it.

A few questions.

1. Why did it disappear?

2. How does Mark Davies supply the information?

3. Why is he ceasing to do so from August.

4. Is there any reasonable likelihood of anybody else being able to do so?

I provide the Sydney data and will be continuing (forever!). In fact just recently I doubled the data frequency. I use to supply a data burst once every 60 seconds, currently I am sending every 30 seconds, in a few weeks when I move to a new data plan the frequency will be every 20 seconds.

As well as the iPhone app there is an iPad version, check it out, the larger screen adds a lot to the experience.

Cheers,
Mark

I have since found a new site, which contains live flight tracking for the east coast and Adelaide.

There is also a feature that allows you to look up to flight history of each aircraft.

I note that Adelaide now has started a share on PlaneFinder on the IPhone!!

Flightradar24 is also nice but a few too many 'bugs' that slow it down on my computers...

As some of you know most B737-7, 737-3, 737-4, 763, E170, E190, and Dash 8s not appear on the ADS-B radar, Is this going to change? I think I herd a while ago that in 2012 all aircraft most be equipped with ADS-B?

No.

I believe the requirement is all aircraft flying above FL280 are required to have ADS-B by then, or something to that effect.

Because of many many varied reasons, and the sad state of aviation below the airlines, I don't see ADS-B ever becoming a REQUIREMENT in all aircraft.
