COAA PlanePlotter 6.6.6.6

PlanePlotter receives and decodes live digital position reports from aircraft and plots them on a chart for analysis. You can see an accurate radar-like display of aircraft around you that transmit appropriate digital messages such as ACARS, ADS-B or HFDL.

PlanePlotter presents an information table display of messages decoded and received from live aircraft transmissions.

PlanePlotter stores all digital data it receives and decodes in a log file for future reference.

PlanePlotter displays aircraft positions, altitudes and times decoded from message traffic received, such as embedded position reports in ACARS messages; AMDAR reports and ADS reports contained within these ACARS messages; ADS-B position reports received using Kinetic SBS1 or AirNav System RadarBox mode-S receivers or Charles Brain's PC-HFDL software; or position reports received over HF. When superimposing plotted data onto aeronatucal charts prepared beforehand or satellite imagery where available (eg Mode-S messages), altitude information allows discriminating low level traffic from high level traffic.

PlanePlotter can integrate with Google Earth server if you are receiving Mode-S ADS-B position reports to display aircraft positions over its base map, providing dynamic real-time views from an aircraft you specify in real-time.

PlanePlotter can pinpoint and display any transmission with just a passive antenna switch, making aircraft easy to find even without ACARS/Mode S/ADS-B capabilities.
