dabhand Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Came across an article in the online UK Daily Mail which focused on this website: Flightradar24.com It appears to give details, in realtime, of flights worldwide. Can't vouch for it's accuracy but, after a brief review, was well impressed. It may be of interest to any anoraks out there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakman Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 There is also: http://flightaware.com/ which is sometimes incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Flightradar is better, I've found Airports in the wring timezone in flightaware. eg Broken hill in Australia, which I informed them about. Another one if flightstats.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindsayBKK Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) I use Flightaware, I like the Schedules Delayed/On-time history but I also like listening to ATC http://www.futurastudios.com/atc.html or http://www.liveatc.net/ You are listening to: KORD Chicago Approach - Chicago, Illinois, United States http://www.liveatc.n...d_app&icao=kord Warning! And for those who can handle last word conversations of plane crashes look here: http://www.planecras...m/lastwords.htm Edited September 19, 2012 by LindsayBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is brilliant. http://www.flightradar24.com//t_blank Click on any aircraft in the map. Then cockpit view on the left of the screen. Takes about a minute. I watched a landing at Swampy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiawatcher Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I have been using www.flightstats.com for years tracking flights and delays, constant failures by airlines to meet schedules on the route etc. Always accurate and easy to navigate.

55Jay Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is brilliant. http://www.flightradar24.com//t_blank Click on any aircraft in the map. Then cockpit view on the left of the screen. Takes about a minute. I watched a landing at Swampy. Mosha, when I double clicked an aircraft icon, another screen came up which did say cockpit view of XXX flight, at the top but the screen had Google Earth in the center, saying I had to install Google Earth Plugin, which I did, then restarted IE. I keep getting the same thing though. Did you see the same but after 5 minutes, video came up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using flightradar24 for years now, although Suvarnabhumi has only been added a couple of months ago. Used it for arrivals/departures Middle-East and Europe. Didn't know about the cockpit view button. Thanks for that ! Yermanee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosha Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If only ATC worked, and other aircraft could be seen. Some genius would find away to port it in to M$ Flightsim lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mosha Brilliant, except I use Firefox and can't get the cockpit view when I click on the appropriate button. Screendumps attached. Any suggestions?

Route21 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Sent a message to FlightRadar24 and was told, via FAQ's, to delete my current version of Google Earth and install the latest version. Been there, done it - no success. Awaiting further suggestions from FlightRadar24 R21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route21 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Years ago, I saw a flight tracker. But these are pretty awesome!!!! Try "Flight Track free". You can identify the flight number by entering the "from & to" locations and selecting the actual flight from a list of all current/upcoming flights that meet that criteria. Once selected, you see the photo realistic plane flying over an excellent, zoomable Google satellite map, with the towns and coutries etc clearly labelled. Below the map, it shows the flight number, the departure and ETA, together with the minutes early/late at each end. Brill! What more could you want/need. Cheers!
