Sending data to FlightAware via PlanePlotter

[satcom]

Daniel Baker from FlightAware posted the following on the PP group which might be of interest to forum members....

Hi all,

FlightAware is now accepting and processing ADS-B data that members can choose to share from PlanePlotter & FlightAware is freely redistributing it on the FlightAware.com web site.  Big thanks to Bev for adding a "to FlightAware" share button in PlanePlotter to simplify it.

For those of you sharing to FlightAware, you can link your easily PP sharer ID to your FlightAware account here:

https://flightaware.com/adsb/register

Once you've registered your sharer ID with FlightAware, you'll be able to see live ADS-B data on FlightAware (normally five minutes delayed), receive a free Enterprise account (normally $90/mo), see your data highlighted on the track logs, as well as see statistics on the contribution of different feeders.  We'll be adding a lot more functionality in the weeks & months ahead and would appreciate any additional feedback or ideas.

We've put together some statistics showing the different feeders:

Feel free to email me any feedback. 

Daniel

I found this easy to set up, just a few clicks and it was working.

I've posted my thanks to all on the PP Yahoo! group but would like to do the same here.

Sharing data and receiving some benefit from it is a win-win and I think this is the latest in a line of advances in this area.
Well done Planeplotter/FlightAware.

The SBS1 Client software available through this forum has been around for a while and I share through it and get FR24 Premium in return.
Thanks to Anmer/Piopawlu for this...

Let's not forget Albert and Mil Mode-S. another fantastic resource.

I know there's more, but I'll stop here.

A good effort by all over many years, my thanks to you all.

Cheers,

Keef.

I remember how some of us were castigated on the Kinetic forum many years ago when we complained about MapModeS not being delivered.  We were repeatedly told that no one was interested in sharing data and those that did would get a knock on the door early one morning.

The Flightaware developments, of which PlanePlotter is a small part, illustrates the global appeal of tracking aircraft and the potential commercial opportunities that may accrue.

It's interesting that PlanePlotter has enabled this for Flightware but not for Planefinder, Flightradar or RadarBox24?

You need to update your copy of PP, Mike. The current one has boxes to click for all except Radarbox24.

Thanks Tom.

I hardly ever use PP and I hadn't seen a similar announcement.

I've got to say the stats provided by flightaware as well as the free enterprise account really is fantastic! something different from FR24. thanks flightaware for these!

Did anyone here ever apply to subscribe to the CAA /NATS feed back in early 2001 ?

As I recall it was going to be a direct feed of air traffic , with 15 minute delay for about a tenner a month........   the events of 9/11 scuppered it before it was ever launched.
Strange how things have developed since then.

The FlightAware offer is pretty generous , giving access to an enormous amount of historic data.
Details of the Enterprise account can be seen here....

I certainly agree with that, it is a good offer.
I've been registered with FA for a few years now but can't afford an ongoing subscription so this is really nice for me.

Cheers,

Keef.

In just a few days the number of PP users sending data to FA has rocketed to nearly 100 .
Good to see the UK is now first in the ranking ! 

Please keep an eye on the PP yahoo group for announcements from Dan regarding future developments.

[Bethsalem]

And Spain is eighth and climbing...

Only 9,900 to go to catch up with RadarBox24.

Do RB24 have 10,000 feeders ?

How come their map is so empty ?


This is serious - now FR24 declared they have 1,000 Free FR24 receivers to be sent out.

Now, that competition have to get 9,000 to 15,000 feeders to feed their network ( to live up to their claims of the newtork with the most feeders ).

http://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/4914-Help-us-increase-coverage!?p=39148&viewfull=1#post39148

" We now have a new batch of 1000 FR24 receivers and we have also improved and automatized much of our "Free equipment process" which means that we can process more applications in a shorter time.

If you can offer a good antenna location and want to host our free FR24 receiver please apply on http://www.flightradar24.com/free-ads-b-equipment

Our goal is to ship about 200 units per month from October 2013 and about 300 units per month from January 2014! "

I don't think so but that's what's been claimed.

[IanH]

Thanks for the info - registered and sending data.

Need to look into SBS1 Client sharing again.

[Ian K]

I'm also sending data but the stats only show that I have shared 88 aircraft today,when in fact it should be over 2000   also it is not showing Live next to my name despite passing all the PP network tests.

any thoughts ?
