This would enable every user with a mobile network connection to at least see ADS-B and MLAT traffic. I imagine this would involve some negotiation with Flightradar24, but I suppose many users would be very interested in such a function? YouTube channel

I've seen instances of C150's with an indicated ground speed of 450kts and one instance of a Eurofox at an indicated altitude of 18,000ft. There are also blind spots in their coverage. Mode S equipped aircraft I know to be in the air often do not show up in certain locations. Also, displayed aircraft often disappear and then re-appear sometime later in a different location. It's not the sort of traffic data that I would want to rely on.

I am aware, that this will neither replace looking out for traffic nor be a real alternative to system like a TRX1500 with ADS-B in/ out or TCAS. YouTube channel

GDPDR is an issue for re-broadcasting legally rather difficult data 7. no real need for the function, simply use a browser much effort, little benefit Edited 10/30/2019 10:38:32 AM by MarkusM
