Live Aircraft Database Stats
« on: August 05, 2011, 12:33:42 AM »
We happy to announce a brand new page we've developed with real-time statistics for the aircraft database project.

You can access them at:
http://www.airnavsystems.com/RadarBox/dbstats.php

This huge database is the result of the hard work of our database updaters volunteer team.
To all of them a big thank you.

I would be right in saying that these figures are aircraft pick up with the airnav radar box receiver, and not a world list from the internet, as some people think.

Job well done to the updaters and airnav.

That is correct.  Basically it consists of aircraft that are confirmed as Mode S equipped and tied-up via official or sighting reports.

You must remember the vast majority of registered machines (including Gliders, balloons and Microlights) still remain non-Mode S equipped.

Here is the CAA stats http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/56/REG%20TOTALS%20WG%20010111.pdf
- there are circa 20,000 registered in the UK and each has been allocated a nominal code by the CAA.  However at least 50% of those nominally allocated codes will be for machines that will not have been fitted with Mode S.

Of the 20,000:
4,000 are microlights
2,300 are Gliders
1,700 are Balloons
300 are gyroplanes
280 are Self Launch Gliders
That makes 8,500 with a miniscule Mode S take-up probably less than 0.05 percent.

Another 3,000 GA aircraft under 750kg
there is probably currently only a 15% mode S equippage in this area.

You can now see that over 50% of the UK register does not currently need to be in our database as they are not Mode-S equipped or are stored/derelict etc and therefore will not be picked up by users.

We currently have 8662 UK tie-ups in the DB which equates to circa 43% of the register.  Of course until CAA publishes Mode S equippage stats, we will never know how close this is to the total equipped, but we are definately getting there with regards to the ones actually getting airborne and broadcasting a Mode S code.  Of course as more aircraft are confirmed as Mode S equipped they will be added in the normal way.

Yes and no points for guessing what anti AN site that is !

We have temporarily suspended the stats script as it was causing some problems with our central database. We are optimizing it and it should be back up in a few days.

ACW367 - the database includes aircraft that are not Mode-S equipped. There are 1390 South African registered aircraft in the database but there are only 689 that have been detected using Mode-S
