PFHD 3
Hi, I just got PFHD 3 on my I Pad, does anyone know if there is a reason why I can't see Flybe aircraft? I live close to one of their big bases but can only see other aircraft landing there, Thanks in advance.

I do not know what PFHD is, nor can I find any reference to it. However, if it is some sort of flight tracking programme it probably depends on input from users of ADS-B receivers. Aircraft in the Uk are not required to carry ADS-B transmitters, although many do. Prop aircraft and many military types frequently do not, hence you will not see them. Someone else may have other ideas?

None of the Flybe fleet are ADS-B equipped, that's why none of them show on Flightradar24 etc.

What's PFHD 3, I've never heard of it ?
