Title: Help decoding a binary ADS-B file (4000 KB)
Post by: Collinsm999 on November 10, 2025, 08:36:52 AM

I have a raw binary ADS-B file containing less than an hour of data, but I'm not sure what format it's in. I'd like to have it decoded and converted into an ASCII CSV file so I can analyse the data.
Would anyone on this site be able to help with this? I'm happy to pay a reasonable amount if someone can do it.
This is a Dropbox link to the file.

Welcome.

What application were you using to collect the data?

Hi, I did not capture it myself. It came from a ADS-B ground receiver used by ATC. I wonder if by analysing it you might be able to work out what format was used.

Thanks. I'm not bright enough to work out the format, it could be Asterix?
