Track Planes 400km Away with PiAware! FlightAware Pro Stick Plus Set-Up Guide

🔗 The full guide: - core-electronics.com.au/guide...
With a FlightAware Pro Stick Plus, we can tap into the information transmitted by the ADS-B transponders installed on almost all aircraft as they fly overhead. This ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) is a technology that enables aircraft to determine their position via satellite and broadcast it. Whether passenger planes, cargo aircraft, single prop Cessnas, helicopters, and even military planes. You will know all the details about them from Flight Identification to position, altitude, velocity, and even their flight history. All thanks to Raspberry Pi and the FlightAware Pro Stick. Put them together and you create a PiAware system!

    Trust @Core Electronics to come out with another awesome guide video so thanks Tim as it looks to be the perfect gift idea for a plane enthusiast or would be pilot. 👍✈

    A dedicated ADS-B high gain antenna will help with coverage.

    Pi's are so hard to get! The Flight Radar 24 dedicated receivers use Beaglebone I think, so that might be an alternative. Also, the FlightAware receiver has a built in filter for 1090 MHz which can be a hindrance if you live outside the city. Core, do you guys sell any other SDRs? Not sure how the FlightAware one would work with other SDR projects like satellite imagery.

    0:20 is a Diamond DA 40 not a single prop Cessna just a helpful lil tip. 1:10 All aircraft are not required to have ADSB 14 CFR § 91.225 It's only required for Class B and C airspace within the 30 miles ring, the gulf of Mexico, and above 10,000' et al.

    I live just a few miles from a quiet but important airport (lots of large airframe interior outfitters based there, so we get big planes). Because of this, my own SDR based ADS-B tracker gets a massive amount of traffic. Planespotting can be great fun.

    @@laserlout Hi Craig, thanks for your reply :) Might I ask if you know if it's possible to gather all flight Data within a certain range in a database of excell file automatically ? I would like to be able to automatically track what flights pass over my house area over the course of a day (or more) and be able to review the data in lists is possible... Sincerely, Peter Lunk

    It’s the crashing into a large body of water or on the land is the problem. If the ELT runs out of juice before they find it the search becomes harder.

    With the GPS and all the other systems you should have a good idea of where it hit the ground/water. Searching for it shouldn't be hard if you have the approximate location. Unless you the water currents shift it whilst it sinks. You can still from there calculate where it might be.

    @TomSmith-eq1vr Tell that to the various services looking for the Malaysian airliner since you got it all figured out. If a plane loses a system or it's intentionally disabled you don't have those services. The last recorded spot could be hundreds or 1000's of miles from the last reported location. Things aren't wrapped up in a nice little bow and solved like you see in a 1hr TV drama.

    @muhammadsteinberg gps signals and other devices don't ping every 1000miles. If your car gps pinged ever 10seconds you would miss your turns. Planes have far more sophisticated navigation systems. I just don't accept that this could happen in these modern times. Just have to look at flight trackers. Your getting constant data from these plane's.

    FlightAware, uses people who set up receivers and does not broadcast all the information. I'm guessing that around 75% of traffic is NOT displayed.
