Casper - live aircraft tracking

You won't believe your eyes! The next generation live aircraft tracker on the internet. Very impressive.

must say i am impressed and its accurate, hopefully it will track other locations outside of the Netherlands soon

Amazing.

Wonder what makes it real time... equations behind providing approximate altitude and airspeed by calculations maybe.

However some aircraft just disappear from the screen in split second...

An ADS-B receiver on the roof of the Frontier building. It's on the web site.

Ths looks great
If there was somthing like this for Belfast city you would see an end of the LOW FLYING OFF ROUTE planes that he locals see!!

That's a very nice marrying of two technologies together

[HXdave]

how accurate is this? i was looking at it, and noticed an EK 744 making its way towards AMS, and the routing showed DXB/AMS. all of a sudden it dissappeared of the screen. i then went to check on the AMS website, and it showed no imminent arrivals for an EK from DXB.

(final thought - could it have been an EK cargo?)

I like the way it represents they aircraft type and colour scheme too very cool.

[racedo]

Hmm is it just me or is perhaps some of the information on here useful for those intent in doing damage to an aircraft in flight.

Now that evening has descended on A'dam - runway lit up and aircraft beacons flashing - great site

Well there goes the next few hours .....WOW is all I can say. Not helping me write lectures ...but what the hell

[Buster the Bear]

Superb! Please roll this out in the nanny state that is the UK!

[MikeStanton]

here here, amazingly good just what we need at LCY!

[berliner57]

You can get something similiar for the UK, a programm called Planeplotter, even though it cosrs 25 Euros, it uses SBS 1 and radar box sharers in the UK, use it myself and also a sharer.

[Groundloop]

SBS 1 and radar box sharers in the UK, use it myself and also a sharer.

So you openly admit on a public forum that you break the law!!

Fascinating

However, having just tracked a Jordanian Airlines plan in, it appeared to have landed at -100ft!! Could this take into account that much of Holland is actually lying below sea level including the Amsterdam Airport runways????

[Bagso]

here here re Nanny state....

Whats the difference between going onto teletext or airport web arrivals page
finding out whats due
Identifying the aircraft on finals
Then firing a large gnd to air missile from the back of a van.....

NONE !

....and if we are paranoid about this why don't the powers that be
better protect our radar /tranmitters sites ... !

AMS airport is indeed below sea level. Not 100ft, but approx 10ft.

The height shown will be that sent out by the aircraft transponder. Possibly mis-set QNH, QNH left on 1013, or the transponder reading low compared to the altimeter.
