Flightradar24 Thread

DieselPowered · 2013-09-29 23:15:28

I can't see a thread for all things Flightradar 24 related. Can be used for unusual observations through Irish Airspace. Spotted this Pakistan Air Force Gulfstream G-450 Reg J-756 just after passing overhead. Looks like it ended up in RAF Brize Norton.

Understand that, just wondering if my calc was right. Over 3 hours seems a long time to be burning fuel.

Hope they get down ok.

KUL to BLR shows a 4 hour 15 mins flight time.

Yeah you're right. I just didn't expect they would have to burn through most of the flight fuel. Horrible for all concerned, 4 hours in the air to end up back where you started but safety is paramount.

From Malaysia Airlines FB:

MEDIA STATEMENT released at 1.35am/21 Apr 2014
MH192 Incident

This might interest many in here, hope it's not too out of place - 24/7 live webcam shots from Gdansk airport http://www.airport.gdansk.pl/airport/kamery-internetowe

Very good quality video and decent enough views of the ramp, close to the runway etc. Sadly not an awful lot of traffic I don't think - Wizz Air (base), Lufthansa, Ryanair prominent.

The thing is, in this day and age if they retracted the law certain elements of the UK media would probably make a few stories out of it listening into things and picking on some poor pilot or controller for saying something in any way unusual if taken out of context :rolleyes: Nothing's kept on the down low here, if you'll sell papers you're the media's property.

As noted, illegal for UK residents to re-broadcast. I'm sure it does occur in private groups but people are very careful not to let it 'leak', partially to avoid triggering further legislation banning or controlling receivers. At present receivers covering the airband are not illegal to produce and sell in the UK and no license is required to possess one.

But if you're not in the UK and have a good line of sight to a UK transmitter, I don't know how OFCOM could have any sanctions...

I always found the law in the UK around re-broadcasting of ATC transmissions a laughable standing.

It's actually against the law to discuss, rebroadcast or even listen to ATC communication within the UK. Amazingly, it is not illegal to own an airband radio, but you can't actually listen to anything on it (by law), this was passed as law under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949, and clearly needs to be repealed!

Scrapping rather than storage for possible resale/eventual scrapping - the latter is usually done in deserts for corrosion reducing reasons; not an issue when you're cutting up straight away.
