After reading the thread about the Aircraft Missing Enroute to Mildura
http://www.pprune.org/dg-p-general-a...e-mildura.html , it mentions the Spidertracks as a location device. As to not takeover that thread, does anyone have any experience in using the Spidertracks?
I understand it works that a ground based person or company can follow your aircraft movements, as long as power is to it. What happens if the aircraft crashes, and power is cut-off to the unit, does the unit give the last known position, or does it not appear on anyone's screen?
Cheers, KP
PS - can it be tracked from a mobile phone, so that you know when a fleet aircraft is arriving without having to be stuck behind a desk?
