Nearly finished my training. 3-axis microlight (also on the Icarus C42).
Got my GST next Wednesday (fingers crossed!)

Good luck!

What stage are you at with your training and what type are you flying? Before the eyes went I was flying 3 axis microlights mainly an Ikarus C42, no transponder or artificial horizon and the construction was so light it didn't paint on radar Not clever flying between two control zones and mostly in the busiest air corridor in Scotland. Even the gliders flying around Glenrothes have transponders and I can see them on the site.

I sat on the perimeter wall at Farnborough today... Including invoicing time. Airbus A380, Hercules and some tasty fast jets practising and the Airbus and Hercules aerobatics were quite impressive.

And those damn things are stopping me from completing my 10 hours of mandatory solo flights - my home airfield is 5 miles from Farnborough, and they don't want student pilots turning the wrong way and ending up skewered on the nose of a Tornado fighter

Or if you are learning to fly (as I am) you could get your own ADS-B transponder, and be visible on the site

Plane spotters on the perimeter fences have been using the mobile app for ages to know which planes are about to land/take off.

I only use it to track flights my close relatives are on, honest

Not working at Farnborough, are non civilian flights not on?

The military would be mad to allow to openly publish all their flight data in (almost) real time

Fantastic site, if you click on the plane you get to see it's path, AAL54. So now I need more monitors what with ISS HD, Netflix and now this.

Good fun that site. If I zoom in to Manchester Airport I can even see them taxiing aound.

What a great website.

I've been a fan of that site for a long time. Get your own ADS-B receiver

Brill!!! Put a shortcut for my area on my desktop. Now when a noisy plane flies over I've got a name to swear at!

[KentPhilip]

No sign of MH370?

That website did in fact show MH370 right up to its transponder being switched off:

No it's near real time as there is about a 10-20 second delay between the plane flying over and the map showing the plane at my position.

Maybe they have changed it, but when I last used it it was bang on the money.

Lots of very noisy hairyplanes at clientCo too. Farnborough airshow next week.
