Can anyone identify the aircraft i saw this morning. Up high with trail heading east somewhere near Kiama, wollongong. Got a pic of it and seems to be a virgin aircraft. But very blurred pic.

Just curious that is all, as we don't get that very often down the south coast.

Afternoon all,

Due from Cebu at around 1700 is Gulfstream 4 N620JH.

Graeme, a question about the GA traffic that shows up on your ACARS, will there be a time where it shows the route that the aircraft is flying ? Guess im asking from a flight sim point of view.

Cheers
Mark

Mark, I think the answer is unfortunately no. These jets are either private or corporate and they generally like to keep route details quiet. Unlike airlines who have a defined set of routes where the flight numbers can be entered into the ACARS system for each sector, corporate jets can go anywhere at any time so it is a little pointless for them.

Some times they mention route details in ACARS text messages, or transmit the waypoints for their route, however in general they transmit very little on ACARS.
