Default FlightAware ADS-B

It looks like FlightAware has finally started crowdsourcing ADS-B data...

http://flightaware.com/adsb/

You can now supply FlightAware with your own feed direct or via PlanePlotter. Then with your stats you can compete and collaborate with others.

It seems a few people are already supplying FlightAware from Australia, but no one from Victoria or Central Australia.

http://flightaware.com/adsb/coverage

Of course FlightAware's coverage of Australia is already comprehensive, but having a backup ADS-B seems like a great idea.

FlightAware are now requesting feeders from Melbourne and Cairns. If become a feeder, you will get a complimentary Enterprise Account.

Looks like Carins now has a feeder. Melbourne is now the only major city not to have a feeder, if anyone in Melbourne has an ADS-B feed you may want to look at the link below.

Hi Noel, I started to feed FlightAware on the 16th November 2013, and have moved up the global rankings from 195 to 140 place in 6 days (the rankings are based on a month). From the transmission data we receive, I think that around 50th place is where I will end up after a month.

Grahame, I see you have been located at Palm Beach. Somehow I have two entries, most likely because had to changed PP sharer code due to PC rebuild.

Hardly an aerodrome Noel, YPLB is just a wharf at Palm Beach for the DHC Beavers and Cessna Caravans to pick up / unload passengers after landing in Pittwater. However it is closer to home than YSSY and YSBK.

After 18 days I have now moved to 85 place in the FlightAware ADSB rankings, and the 3rd largest feed from Australia. Guessing that I will end up around 50th in the global rankings - hard to compete with the number of movements in Europe and the USA.

Wish we had someone like you feeding down in MEL.
