Hi Tim,

We are doing some testing of the new SafeSky Aero Tracker and we have noticed new tower symbols appearing on SkyDemon maps.

The tower symbol also has a code assigned to it, for example, OGNF0E49B, like in the screenshot below:

Is SkyDemon, via the Aero Tracker receiver, identifying the transmission from the OGN, or possibly a PAW, transmitter?

Thanks

Tony

Looks like an aircraft type of "obstacle" which is designed to be for oil rigs and other fixed ground-based obstacles to broadcast their position via ADS-B or Flarm.

We are not responsible for the traffic types that your device is sending to SkyDemon, so you'd have to ask them what that is.
