  • Used to be Monowai but I think she's long gone and Manawanui? Not sure where she is now but more a dive support vessel.
    You are right Manawanui is just a Diving tender

    • VH-LCL is off Kaikoura right now so I guess it will have quite a story to relay, but flying at 1600 feet it is not visible to me .

      • Tangaroa did an emergency one. But the plane can cover more ground faster

          ZK-XLF was out there earlier doing some land based work.

              Not a normal visit I'd say.

              • No looks like it is off again now, then changed his mind and turned off the GPS. Might just be taxiing
                ; coming for spare parts ???

                  Disembark and tow to park potentially

                    • Where about's is T-NZDN7 located? I read somewhere it was in the Mackenzie Country area? I'm tracking a flight out of Alexandra Airport and it's got quite the impressive coverage range, it initially was tracked by T-NZLX1 but as it headed towards Kingston, it switched to T-NZDN7 which i thought was quite an impressive range.

                        Safe to ignore the radar code listed as tracking. Highly inaccurate these days. Even tags mlat on tracked stuff

                          Mount St Bathans is where T-NZDN7 is located.

                            Oh yeah, I can say I've seen a few MLAT tags. would be interesting to know if it did actually receive ZK-LAB at all though.

                            • Coverage in the South Island of NZ seems to be dependent to a great extent on your local topography. For instance my situation denies me any coverage of the Tasman Sea and Queenstown area. However I can reach(depending on acft altitude) as far as Nelson ,Kaikoura, and over 250 NM to the east. I am at 700 feet ASL near Geraldine. Timaru is mentioned as my nearest airport, 20 NM away. I use the PlanePlotter system and am a Sector Master User so that other people using PP around me can access Multilats; because most of us are scattered in a long line down the Island Mlats can be difficult which is just another problem South Islanders have to tackle. We need Westport or Hokitika stations to start up for Mlats to be more competent.

                                Only in regard to planeplotter in that respect FR24 sent 2 boxes to guys on the coast so for the most part the FR24 online MLAT seems sweet now. Even a lot of low alt canty aero and glider cover as a result.

                                Primarily my planeplotter is an expensive database writer. I don't often refer to it other than for 'new contacts' and keep an eye on my logged 30003 output instead.
