Key Features

This powerful application provides functionality including the identification of aircraft by callsign, altitude, speed and other parameters where such information is transmitted.

The application uses a received aircraft's unique Mode S hex code to retrieve manufacturer, ownership, configuration and other background information from an integrated database. This information is readily available from public domain aviation websites worldwide

The powerful software allows single or multiple aircraft to be tracked in three dimensions.

The application can be set to log all received data to disk for later importation into a database for further query manipulation.

The application allows for waypoints or points of interest to be entered and displayed on the vector scope making it easier to determine if an aircraft has flown over or near a location. All distance calculations are made using Great Circle methodology for accuracy.
