  • Spotted an interesting feeder T-YBCG7 yesterday that I've not seen before. YBCG is Gold Coast airport and it seems to get planes down to ground level at Coolangatta without any problem but the interesting thing is that yesterday is was also getting them on the ground at Brisbane and today at Archerfield in Brisbane's west but not at Brisbane. Anybody know anything about this feeder? Old favourite T-YBBN1 at Brisbane also seems to have vanished again.

      Ummm, Its now 1205pm Brisbane time and T-YBBN1 is displaying ok..Be a shame if it disappears again, like last time when it went off air for several weeks

        Glad to hear it's still around - I must have missed it. Thanks.

          Could be a mobile plane spotter - with a mag-mount on the car roof or something.

            Good point - would nearly have to be mobile or some sort of network to get those three airports down to ground level - unless it's on top of Australia's highest building at the Gold Coast (unlikely). Cheers.

            • Had just over an hour outage (during the busiest time) due to a storm moving though. Back online again but took a bit to get everything working again. Really need to get the Raspberry Pi ordered so I can have a low powered system that will have some back-ups (power and internet).

              • T-YSWG2 will be offline, due to a ADSL2 fault. Back-up internet is at its bandwith limit (also running off my mobile). Hoping to have the broadband connection up and running ASAP but will work on getting an emergency internet connection established (may take 24 hours) if the down time looks to be continuing over the weekend.

                • ADSL connection is back online, but not sure if it will last *fingers crossed*

                  • Some very useful MLAT coverage has become available in southern Queensland. Range is quite remarkable given that there are only a couple of FR24 feeders west of the range. Nothing much in Brisbane but extends from about Ipswich west to nearly Miles, north to Noosa and south to about Casino. Provides coverage down to about 13000ft east of the range and down to about 16000ft to the west. There are plenty of Dash8s, ATRs and KingAirs to be seen as well as a few other types. Other people have also reported limited MLAT coverage around Perth and central Victoria but I've not been able to pick those up, nor anything around Sydney. Don't forget you have to switch MLAT on in Settings.

                    • Now the fun begins expanding the database.. bags not!

                      But seriously, ya'll will need to start adding them to the new airacraft area, there will be a tonne of un-knowns appearing now.

                        I know nothing about that process but would be happy to lend a hand if you can tell me what's needed. Nearly all of the planes I have spotted so far have all the data except flight numbers. A couple had no rego. I know how to get aircraft info from the CASA register - not so sure about flight numbers other than from airline websites which are a PITA. Cheers.

                        • Any you see with no registration, lookup the HEX via airframes.org, or if you have planeplotter with shared registration info (or a local database of them)

                          Then lookup CASA by reg and get the rest of the details like serial number etc if missing.

                          Queue a few up and add them to posts.. http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...-FR24-database

                          You will see the perferred format

                          Hex
                          Reg
                          Manuf
                          Type
                          Serial
                          Owner

                          Private can go down as private, its only really large corporation fleets that get married up. Like ARFDS

                          • Well finally ive had my much higher antenna pole installed. Up about 7m from it's previous location. It has removed a lot of black spots in my coverage. I can see already that F-YBNA1 holds coverage of aircraft much better than before and Im seeing M-Lat aircraft much further south from BN area

                            And then all of a sudden apart from a few aircraft, other feeders 100nm from me suddenly take all the traffic ? Faster internet connections ?

                              Good job. Must be overjoyed the antenna pole is installed at its proper place, took a while to sort out I think? 10ft pole I guess?

                                Mate is F-YBNA actually at Ballina? It's had terrific coverage since you put it up and it's a bit hard to work out where it is. Reason I ask is that I have a list of more than 100 Oz feeders that have actually been visible over the last 6 weeks or so and I intend to post it to this thread in the next few days to see if we can find out where some of these feeders are because many of them are fairly obviously nowhere near where their airport code would indicate. Cheers.
