ATC Radar Colour Codes
Hi
Have just found this Heathrow Cam and I am curious to know what the different colours on the contacts are.
I'm sure red is for descending aircraft.
Is green climbing out and blue in cruise?
Not to sure.
Cheers

Hi,
The red lables are for clumbing aircraft ( you can see the rate of climb in the tag under the aircraft type) Green tags are desending aircraft and like the climbers you can see the rate of descent. Finally yes, the bule tags are for overflights/ level flight.
Thanks

What you are looking at is a screenshot from an AIRNAV Decoder (I have one too). The colours can be changed to your own settings. However as indicated in the previous post these are the default ones (I'm not sure if this is the same as ATC would see on their screens) .

Thanks for all your replies.
Just another question.
What is the difference between the Ryanair 7240 at FL370 and the
SHTA182 at 4750ft?
Is it that one is climbing out and one in cruise?
Cheers
