  • FR24 has many feeders around the LAX/Southern California area, I also cover the LAX area with my feed :-)

    I didn't consider the competitive reasons. When I looked earlier at where coverage is needed and saw LAX, I thought for sure there must be something being fed to here. Also I didn't know about that the change in altitude can affect what is being relayed here.

      If that site is correct, there is some wacky issue of codes...
      YBCG6 (which I can never recall seeing online so this might be very old) is nowhere near YBCG - off by about 150 km's, it's on border of YBBN and YBSU, though I'd classify it more as YBSU.

        No, there is no issue with codes. For FR24 the radar code was created many years ago, just to be a unique code to identify a receiver in our system, nothing more and nothing less. We have learned during the years that this often collides with feeders interest of having the "perfect code", but the code was once created not to be perfect, but to be unique. If we would build the system today we would have taken a completely different approach and different system construction.

        Today, every time we change the code we more or less loose the history of the receiver. In most cases it does not matter, in other cases support ha big problems to follow a history of a receiver and in some cases to find a receiver. Just an example I spent 20 minutes yesterday with support to find full history of a receiver that was installed 2013, renamed, replaced, renamed again, replaced again in 2014 and renamed.

          an extra database table column could save you that time

          So YBCG6 is actually still active?, and if so have you confirmed they did not move?
          From the apparent location on that third party website they have an excellent coverage area for ground from there letalone airspace, yet I can never recall seeing them, I ask only because of your recently stated comments about showing aircraft once data is uploaded by at least two stations for verification, and as per my several posts about me detecting aircraft FR24 not showing, since YBCG6 is only a few kilometres to my west - and with far greater coverage, you should have got both data sets and "displayed" the non displaying local aircraft.

              What do you base your opinion on?

              Yes Mode-S has become enabled for Philippine receivers but I haven't seen any tracking of domestic non-ADs-b aircraft yet.

              Seeing Unknowns on the FR24 map is an indication that an MLAT server is on in an area of overlapping coverage.

              It's unclear how FR24 was able to overcome latency issues in Australia and New Zealand. My latency to the server is about 500 ms.

              Philippine ISPs do not peer in Manila but peer overseas so your neighbor across the street using a different ISP will have to send packets overseas to communicate with you resulting in unnecessary latency. Peering is in the future here so that the Philippines will finally present a unified connection to the world.

              If you are sampling the FR24 receiver, Mode-S enabled or disabled doesn't prevent the receiver from detecting and indicating Unknown (positionless) aircraft, but just tells the receiver to include or exclude unneeded information from the packets sent home to the server.

                Sydney/Australia based co-located server to process and forward I believe. We often remain online, or can selectively go offline separate from the globe. And also uses us as new update tests (see the new website change screenshots)

                      I would have my doubts with this one, remember the radar code displayed is not always a good/confirmed indicator.



                      That aircraft should be new enough to be ADSB equipped, and in the past its brothers have been tracked by an ADSB receiver on FA. Its unlikely an A320 would need to be MLAT'd one would have thought.

                      • MLAT code is always correct as it is the only data source for some aircraft. There are still a lot of new aircraft delivered without ADS-B. I recently added almost 100 new A320/B737 to database from China that has never been tracked with ADS-B.

                          As to 500ms latency, most aussie carriers favour all intl traffic by the U.S. it helps the U.S. NSA a lot, but not those of us in Asia Pac region from communicating to each other at decent latency.

                          terrorists only need take out 2 landing points (I wont say where but most know anyway) and aus internet is 98% gone, because of our tier 1's fascination of only using the US as our gateway, even to Europe, even to India its by the U.S... go figure

                          So expect high latency to AU. especially from Asia and Europe, with only one or two carriers providing a direct link into Asia ( even then, its not all of Asia *sigh*)

                            F-MLAT is working within a 100 mile radius of Cebu. We have 7 receivers with overlapping coverage so that is why we are seeing UNKNOWN aircraft and Luzon isn't. Luzon with only three receivers is insufficient for MLAT to work.

                            F-MLAT is also working around Kul in Malaysia where there is a big concentration of receivers.

                            The challenge with presenting MLAT data in the Philippines is that the registry of registration numbers is incomplete for the Bombardier aircraft used by PAL/PAL express have no registration numbers to associate with an ICAO. Cebu Pacific on the other-hand has registration numbers associated with their ATR75s. Short duration flights of the ATR75s are not showing yet as most flights are under 20,000 ft.

                            Privately Owned aircraft (POW) are also a challenge since they include helicopters, Gulf Stream, experimental and propeller and jet engine small planes etc which includes charters. In most cases you can discover the owner but not the operator especially those who charter. Hong Kong charters ferry high rollers to the casinos in Sydney and Melbourne.

                            Mike and others on the team have their plate full.

                                The registry list is here for 2013. Next time you are over in Manila look them up. I haven't been able to get any newer information working with the Officer In Charge here.

                                In order to get this link to work copy it and paste it in a new tab, it won't work just by clicking the link above.

                                If you are able to get newer information please share it.
