Title: Sharing great aviation websites
Post by: sandhl on January 01, 2010, 05:56:04 PM
Happy New Year all.

There seems to be a wealth of knowledge amongst the AirNav Forum community of some of the most interesting/useful aviation websites.

Is there merit in having a thread on our forum for great aviation websites (just like there is for interesting aircraft, call signs etc). Whilst most of us know most websites, there are always a few we don't know. Therefore, I have a few suggestions for some threads:

Thread 1: “Websites – ADS-B logs” - Forum members post web addresses for sites with regularly updated ADS-B logs with a short description of the geographic areas they cover.  Whilst Libhomeradar does a good job, it no longer covers non airline aircraft.

Thread 2: “Websites – live positional data” - sites which display live aircraft positional data from ADS-B receivers. E.g. Casper.frontier.nl, Radar Virtuel

Thread 3: “Websites – air traffic control” – sites which provide good information on charts, frequencies, live feeds.

Thread 4: “Great websites – General interest”

All other suggestions welcome.  Perhaps these are all covered under one thread e.g. “Great aviation websites”?

Other blogs such as Radar Spotters have in the past attempted this and it would be a shame if our own beloved messageboard lags behind. I am happy to start the ball rolling if there is enough willingness to contribute. Please share your thoughts.

Let's go ahead with it! We have sent some interesting sites to the Aviation board lately.

Here they go (feel free to organize them later on - most of them airline pilot related as some of AirNav team members are airline pilots):

- Interesting Airline Pilot charts site: http://www.aircharts.ch
- Flight Procedures: http://www.smartcockpit.com/
- Live Audio from Amateur Radio Receivers: http://www.globaltuners.com/
- Live ATC: http://www.liveatc.net

Thanks AirNav Development for your kind support.

For the first installment, please find below a list of dedicated airport Plane Spotter websites which provide movement logs and photos of interesting aircraft.

Leeds Bradford - http://www.lbaviation.co.uk/
Manchester – http://www.tasmanchester.com/Home.html
Glasgow - http://www.egpf.info/
Liverpool - http://www.nwan.co.uk/review.html
London City - http://www.lcacc.org/operations/operations.html
LHR/LGW - http://www.lhr-lgw.co.uk/

Those of us who are aware of other similar sites across Europe (or other great aviation sites), can you please add to this thread with the web addresses so all users can benefit from them.

Cheers.

Have you tried www.aviation-links.co.uk ? That has over 25,000 links to aviation-related sites, hard to beat !

Post by: sandhl on January 03, 2010, 12:53:22 PM
Thanks Dave. This is an excellent site and should be in everyone's bookmarks.

Look forward to hearing about more great sites from some of the others in the forum.

Again, the purpose of this thread is not to create an extensive list of websites but making the forum members aware of the select "must have" sites which are best-in-class and are worth sharing.

Here's one more, a central repository of all European ATC charts provided by Eurocontrol. Sign up for EAD “Basic access”. Go to “Enter Applications” and select “PAMS”. http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/eadcms/eadsite/index.php%3Foption=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=25&Itemid=3.html

If needed you can find here the ICAO code for (almost) every Airport on this planet.

I often use  http://flightaware.com/live/ to see what filed flight plan is for any particular flight. The flight plan is shown in the “Route” box. One can see 5 days flight plan history for a particular flight number. Works for flights to the UK or US.

Then I use the following website to plot the route on google maps in detail. It even allows you to choose the SID/STAR for the airports.

I've just discovered an FAA list of the actual operators of bizjets (rather than the finance companies) - It's their list of RVSM approvals and covers the US, Canada and Mexico, and you can doenload the data as PDF's or Excel spreadsheets.

For the sake of completeness of this “Great aviation websites” thread, I have added good sites posted on other threads recently:
* Pilot’s view of live aircraft over Portugal using Google Earth - www.navpt.com
* UK Aviation Frequency Database - http://www.airscene.co.uk/tinc?key=lcQ5Iywa&formname=uk_avi_db

Secondly, I was hoping forum members could contribute websites where daily ADS-B logs are posted (along with the region). Whilst libhomeradar does this to some extent, it no longer shows general aviation.

Here’s a few examples.

Europe wide - http://www.libhomeradar.org/databasequery/index.php
South Wales - http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/OTTSouthWalesandWest/
Glasgow - http://www.egpf.info/ (go to SBS-logs)

Can others think of anymore?

All very well, but they don't seem to want to accept any new members at the moment.  2 days trying to register, filling out questionnaires, etc.  They seem totally paranoid.

If you want military logs, the best I've found are on http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/ in the ModeS Logs section.

That seems very strange, looking at their stats they've had 15 new members in the last week alone, although none approved so far today so maybe their admin is having a day off ?

That seems very strange, looking at their stats they've had 15 new members in the last week alone, although none approved so far today so maybe their admin is having a day off ?

Well, they were around to send me a long questionnaire, which I sent back yesterday.  I've never know a forum that needs to know so much before they'll let you register!!

As part of our continuing development we selectively approach new members to understand more about their interests.  If you could answer the following questions it would be much appreciated:

1.       Where are you located; Nearest town, which country?
2.       Do you use a ModeS Receiver   Yes/No
3.       If Yes, which make and model?
4.       How long have you had it?
5.       If you don't have a ModeS Receiver, which one might you get?
6.       Do you think the Kinetic SBS-1 is better than the AirNav RadarBox or vice versa?  What about the new Aurora Eurotech receiver and software?
7.       Which is the best product?  Please explain why one may be better than the other.
8.       What do you think about the two suppliers?  Do they offer good or bad support?  Do they over promote their products?
9.       What about the supplier forums?  Which is best and why?
10.   Do you share data?   Yes/No
11.   If Yes, how?  AirNav, PlanePlotter or a Basestation private network?
12.   Where did you hear about Radarspotters?
13.   What do you think is the best feature on Radarspotters?  What can be improved?
14.   Do you know anyone who is already a Radarspotters member and if so, what is the UserName?
15.   Finally, what other hobbies do you have?

OK, I take your point.

They certainly weren't asking all those questions when I joined last year, otherwise they would have MYOB as my answer to most of them ...

It’s clear that website has an agenda.

- The spamming of our members by Moderators (something they totally ignored even though being caught doing it)
- Moderators who post instantly on there forum to highlight any issue mentioned on this forum but not competitors (this occurred yesterday and they deleted the post as soon as they realised they were totally wrong)
- Questionnaire which is more of a marketing survey for a specific company.
- Admission of the Admins/ Moderators not being neutral

The above is just the a scratch of the surface, we are all intelligent enough to work out all is not as seems.

Please do not give any further promotion to that website they are no help to the ADS-B Hobby community.

I agree.  I feel just a bit conned by the radarspotters site.  I simply wanted to register to ask some questions about buying my partner one of these radar systems, looking for impartial advise.   Instead, I can't get registered, and get asked loads of probing questions.

Maybe it's just a site for getting people to answer their survey - definately a con.  Steer clear.  I did read through some of the posts, and it seemed a very bitter and twisted group of people - very strange.  I guess there's some history behind their bad attitudes.

I agree.  I feel just a bit conned by the radarspotters site.  I simply wanted to register to ask some questions about buying my partner one of these radar systems, looking for impartial advise.   Instead, I can't get registered, and get asked loads of probing questions.

Maybe it's just a site for getting people to answer their survey - definately a con.  Steer clear.  I did read through some of the posts, and it seemed a very bitter and twisted group of people - very strange.  I guess there's some history behind their bad attitudes.
Maybe you can answer a lot of questions with: private

Second part of your reply: you can call it free speech, you can send in your own opinion on a lot of qestions, being pro or contra.
You can't do this in all matters on this forum, some posts are deleted.

I'm still member here because i do have a RadarBox and want to be up to date with the information of it.

I answered most questions "Don't know", since I don't know which system is better, or the suppliers, etc.  It seems crazy that if you want to join a forum, you've got the know all the answers before they'll let you join!!  I guess the forum is run by "know-it-alls", and you can't join their little club unless you also know it all.

Anyway, still trying to decide between buying my hubbie a Radabox, a sbs-1, or an Aurorora.

jannuh,

There propaganda of we delete posts etc.. are totally untrue. In the rare cases we have done that we have given reasons (usually due to libellous posts with no proof) They would have you believe we delete any bad comments, that is totally incorrect.

We actually had a member of our team posting on there forum to try and answer questions they felt had not been answered. His posts were eventually edited and he wasn't allowed to give AirNavs view, ask yourself why? In result we banned there moderators on our forum.

Furthermore posts on there forum (which as supposed to be free from any bias) have been deleted and members branded as not following there thinking and banned/gagged.

We have a hard job here of replying to customers in a public domain and keeping up to customer demand. We are doing our upmost to do this and we have gained the majority of the new market. This has made us enemies and is unfortunately part and parcel of the business world.

Just got this terse email from the radarspotter administrators.  I guess I must have given the wrong answers on their questionnaire.  I've read a few posts over their now, and looks like you need to hate Airnav with a passion before they'll let you in their little club.  I'm rather glad they did reject me in the end.

Hi JoJo

We have noted your comments on the AirNav forum and it would appear that Radarspotters cannot meet your expectations.  Thank you for your interest and maybe either the Kinetic or AirNav Forum will be able to answer your questions.

had a account on that forum but after seeing how and why some of there members post topics i came to the conclussion that its some kind of vendetta.

It is well known in this area amongst distributors, dealers and everyone in this area that the radarspotters is a forum/site created by our competitors to try to pass the idea that AirNav is unreliable - something that was previously done by our competitors directly.

Radarspotters moderators are know to be ex-top posters and very old users of our competitors product and with very closed connections with ML&S (the distributors of SBS).

This is of course an illegal activity and we are taking the proper measures to deal with it. Our users will soon be informed about it.

At the beginning of this year I started this thread to liven up the forum and share our collective knowledge of the best the web has to offer enthusiasts such as ourselves.

I’ve noticed a lack of posts in the last few months and was hoping we could make a concerted effort to regain the momentum.

If you have discovered any websites worth sharing in the last few months please can you add these to this thread.
Here’s one from me: Wikepedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Aviation_terminology

WAD is a great site, although bear in mind that the airport data is based on the US Government's DAFIF database, which was withdrawn from the public domain in October 2006.

Fortunately, airports don't often tend to move, so most of the data is still valid !
