Looking at the FR24 websites for a while today. I beleive that with the return of BPO (NZUK1) that the mlat coverage in the South Is has improved greatly.

flightradar24scrrenshot3.jpg Excuse my ignorance, but I am still a little confused on how FR24 truely works, My radar picked up the Flight ANZ673 (Auckland -Dunedin) from about Hampden (North Otago) which is 33nm from here, yet 4 hours later, my stats say that my maximum distance is 23nm! Also when following a flight, obviously there are several receivers picking up and feeding the data to FR24, I notice that it changes for example F-NZCH1 to F-NZTU2 to T-NZDN3 to F-NZTU2 etc, I briefly saw my call sign (F-NZDN2) when the Airbus was flying over the Waipori Gorge. Also in this screen dump, notice the variation of flight around Waikouaititi!

I too have found that distance is never the same between stats and VRS.. F-NZTU2 usually losses flights to/from Dunedin between 9000 - 9500 ft, then someone elses radar takes over. You never know which radar is going to pop up. It is good with all the overlapping that is now happeningLast edited by Westone; 2015-01-03, 07:21.

Something to look out for next month also.
China Southern for the 2nd consecutive year is operating Guangzhou – Christchurch charter service during Chinese New Year, with Boeing 787-8 aircraft. The airline plans to operate the flight from Guangzhou on 14FEB15, 20FEB15 and 26FEB15.

FR24screenshot04012015.jpg I think this flight NM372 from Christchurch to Rotorua is slightly off course!

It looks very bizarre alright, I am sure there is a logical explanation, but still looks bizarre!
diverted to Auckland.... I wonder what the interest was around Banks Peninsula?? http://www.flightradar24.com/data/fl...nz837/#530e019Last edited by Bilstein; 2015-01-04, 08:41.
