FlightAware and Aireon Announce Global Space-Based ADS-B Flight Tracking
FlightAware and Aireon are proud to announce the world's first and only global, space-based ADS-B flight tracking solution. FlightAware's technology and Aireon's 66 ADS-B receivers in low earth orbit will forever change the world of flight tracking and flight safety. (flightaware.com) और अधिक...Congratulations! This is truly revolutionary for the aviation industry.
Great news!!!I suppose this will enhance the common everyday tracking we all use to check on our family flights. I use FlightAware tracking constantly since so many of my large family is always going somewhere...Congrats.
Excellent news. With friends in Europe and frequent visits it's good to know we can track them over the polar route. Don't have any friends in southern hemisphere but that is an area long in need of improved tracking.
You can be proud for extending the. Coverage!

Have to admit I was wrong about ADS-B - was opposed to it - seemed like a lot of expensive monkey motion for what ?
Boy was I ever wrong. As I noted in another "thread"...now that I have ADS B in my own airplane - have to admit..neatest thing around since they invented chocolate ice-cream...!
An example....some kind of major radar failure the other day in the south-west. ATC and non ADS B equipped guys were definitely in a pickle.
Being the incredibly sweet-dispositioned, charming, good natured and understanding guy that I am...I offered to cancel IFR, drop down "under the deck" so as to free up air-space. ATC assured me "negative...we have your ADS-B return". They knew just about everything about me on a much more accurate, easier-to-unadle response than standard ATC radar. So they were able to handle me without difficulty, even tho radar was dead.
And, as another poster noted - anyone with ADS B screen & equipment would see who I am, where I am, what I had for breakfast, in relation to their aircraft, just by looking at their screen. Was particularly helpful when, as was in the case with my group last week-end, to "linking up" without bothering ATC.
