Do you mean that its position is never plotted?

I frequently see G-BUSI in My Flights, but it never provides a position either. I think (from memory) that it's a BA A320, I thought they all have ADS-B fitted.

None of the earlier BA320's are ADS-B equiped. The G-BUS* machines have been in service donkey's years.

Don't know about the Monarch machine though

Last had G-OZBO in 'My Log' on Nov 3rd out of MAN. This may sound a silly question but have you got G-OZBO as hexcode 400832 in your database? This frame was previously G-MIDM with the same hexcode, and if you haven't altered it manually then this could be the reason.

Interesting. I saw an Air France 320 this evening, it had a very early construction number but it was sending ADS-B just fine. I wonder if BA simply ordered them without the requisite kit or perhaps AF decided to update theirs at some point.

If it helps, it was on my box 20 minutes ago, departing Gatwick for Faro as MON214..

As previously advised, hex code is 400832, which wouldn't have changed on re-registration from G-MIDM, since the UK sticks to ICAO rules on 24-bit addresses.

Ok......many thx for all the comments
next question how do i change this and how can i check for any other poss errors
ie..hex code is 400832  was showing G-MIDM

thx again

Maybe I'm not understanding something here, but doesn't AirNav have the link to the GAS database?  Therefore, as GAS quotes G-OZBO for code 400832, shouldn't this populate correctly into Radarbox?

I have a long list of codes that never seem to convert into registrations at all. (e.g. Iberis 34260F, SAS 4A91D8, Aerosvit 5081C7 etc.) Most of these are quite old and show up in GAS. It's almost as if AirNav has a "mental block" over a small selection of codes!

Any theories?

It's a known issue, and it's in hand - watch this space ...
