Hello,
I have been feeding ADS-B information up to FR24 for a few weeks now,
but I frequently see aircraft with my eyes and not on the FR24 web site,
especially when flying at lower altitudes.
I live in a valley so it’s possible that I am the only receiver who is able to pick up the low
flying medical helicopters that come in and out of the trauma center, located about half a mile from me.
One particular flight happened this morning…
[the main web site] /data/aircraft/n31rx#c448407
(sorry, I am a new member, I cannot post an actual link yet)
My Radar Code T-KCCR8 (the account I upload with)
Time: 7:20 AM PST / 15:20 UTC
Registration: N31RX
Lat: 37.9369
Long: -122.1273
ZIP Code: 94598 East of San Francisco
The FR24 web site has spotty coverage of this helicopter flight as it approaches,
flying at approximately the 1650 feet, but once it descends down into the valley, it vanishes.
Any ideas on why this is happening / how I can get the “full picture” of these low helicopter flights?
