Sorry, here are login details...

Not working for me this morning. Username or password is incorrect.

I see, looks like they have changed it around:mad:. Well, it was good for a play last night anyway
|
Last night when I was able to log in it said the website was for general public viewing. It seems that wasn't the case!
|
I see its working again now.
|
This is sensational!!! :D
Best thread and website of the year! |
Is this real time as all the flights I have looked appear to me as being 1 hour different. Just watched MAS140 depart Syd on it , but on the balus site it shows MAS 140 over OOL, at 13000ft. Is it because on the ESDT??
|
Delayed to the time indicated in the bottom right corner of the page I think
EG it's now 11PM AEDST and the time for the flights is 10:18pm Shame it's not real time |
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.

Web Trak
The layout reminds me of a Software ATC Simulator I used to have called Tracon.
Terminal Radar Approach Control, also had a radar sweep on it too, and for memory you could throw in some cloud coverage as well and hand off to towers with the ILS too. A Great Program !! Rgds Peter |

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. http://www.16Right.com/MessageBoard/YSSY WebTrak.jpg |
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?

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? |
Phillip,
Webtrack only monitors aircraft up to 10,000ft or so, hence your contrail aircraft would not be displayed, can't answer for your third aircraft but it may have been above that height as well. |
The absence of the higher two a/c I assumed was attributable to their being above 10,000 ft (which is the reason for my prefaced quote) but my real query is why the CX a/c disappeared from Webtrak for a minute and then re-appeared, with a gap in the displayed tracking line.
|
Just to bring this thread back to life, we can see the go around of some planes on Wednesday during the dust storm. For example at 0530LT, we can see BA15 performing a go around.
I must say this is a pretty useful tool for just info gathering and tracking though i must say it's pretty buggy sometimes. |
I just had a look at Webtrak and there is now a new feature when you have clicked on an aircraft, you can now "Report" this aircraft and make a complaint.
And it appears they have'nt adjusted their clocks for daylight savings time Cheers |
