Why can't I track 558?

[Nickolas]

Been trying to track 558 today on radarvirtuel and flightradar24.com with no avail.
Ant ideas out there?

Noooooooooo that's not the answer I would have liked young man. That's the sort of smart arsed answer I'd expect from TDC.

How very dare you compare me to your son!

Well give me a constructive answer not a smart arse one.

[Xplumberlives]

I already have!

Could it be that 558 has no facility to accept secondary radar so cannot send it's details to ATC or maybe I'm talking out of my a se

Glad I checked this thread, http://www.radarvirtuel.com/ is bloody brilliant!!!! How do you find Military stuff though?

[Mayfly]

you can't I don't think - there's also another website called radar24 or something like that for tracking a/c - again I think only civil tho'

Edit this is another site

yes it is but the question I was answering was 'How do you track Military a/c?'

Should have gone to Spec Savers!!!!!

Bloody thread drift. Catches me out every time.

Age my dear!!!!!....

[Nickolas]

Maybe it's something we could ask to be investigated.

Be great to track her and to track a display too...........

[Sooty655]

Age my dear!!!!!....

No thanks, I've got enough of my own.

[Mayfly]

I know 558 squawks because I tracked her in 08 on the her way to Southport on the mil network - don't know if you can see her on the civil ones tho'

I was reading one the fora today where someone said they thought they saw her just as she landed which is where this link came from - was it TVOC forum??

Cheers for the replies. Really useful tool, although is it just me that wonders about these type of sites and terrorists??

They're not real time - I think they run 4-5 mins behind but you can easily work out where they're going & when they'll be there!!!

That plane finder's good as it shows them at 0ft taxiing at 11kts along the taxi ways at places like Heathrow - where radar virtuel loses them after landing

Watching them come in over my house and using the site http://www.radarvirtuel.com/, I can tell you that they are about 30 seconds behind...

PlaneFinder even has an iPhone App

When skiing a friend had a gizmo that tracked where they'd been that day and could be downloaded into Google Earth to get a 3D path. Would that work in XH558?

Not real time, but would be fun to see a display in 3D.
