Any idea how good the ADSB Coverage would be for this Aurora Flight? I know it will be relatively fine from Dunedin down to Invercargill area, but apart from that?

Leaves at around 21.00 and due back in at between 0400 and 0500 24/3 .only selling the window pair seats so everyone gets a view.

Nice to hear the Dash8 clear reports as it flies in to Timaru ; 3 flights a day. Makes it easier to track even without Mlats. Wish they would put ads-b into the Dash 8's.

Would be nice. Whether they do it is another matter. It'll be whichever comes first. Requirement for ADS-B in controlled Airspace or replace them with ATR42 most likely.

If that DC-10 is in fact ZK-NZP I'm appalled that any media would use the image for other than an article about the actual incident or perhaps something like an annual tribute to those who perished.

Earlier this week the ODT had a story with news of Airways' traffic management investments, however the initial picture was of an Air NZ DC-10 (unfortunately ZK-NZP).

Got to love archive photo ownership.

Now, if it was an antiquated system introduced when those birds were the norm, I could see some slight relation. But by golly.

Good to see. Would be useful for the Flights from the Americas and islands.
