The greatest thing about it is the info you get for the aircraft:

So e.g. click Flight 5245 and you'll get:

Flug (Flight): ZB5245
Fluggesellschaft (Airline): Monarch Airlines United Kingdom

Abflug (Departure)

Flughafen (airport): Dalaman Turkey
Geplante Abflugszeit (Departure Time): 27.08.2009 12:43

Ankunft (Arrival)

Flughafen: London-Gatwick Great Britain (UK)
Geplante Ankunftszeit (planned time of arrival): 27.08.2009 15:00
Erwartete Ankunftszeit (estimated time of arrival): 27.08.2009 14:38

Aktuelle Situation (current situation)

Geschwindigkeit:826 km/h (speed)
Höhe:10973 m (flight level)
Position: 47°28'34" N 07°39'24" E
Steig-/Sinkrate: 0 m/s (rate of climb / descent)


plus click "Flugzeug" (aircraft) and it'll get you all ac details including a matching photo!
(doesn't work with each plane, so it took me some time to figure that out)

Have fun, :tab:

That is a neat site and I like the way it is superimposed on the map.

I use this site for live tracking in North America and rather than it being for a fixed location you can select either the aircraft reg/flight number, airline name or airport code to search for live tracks.

http://flightaware.com/live/

It works nicely along with my Ham Radio which also has air band on it so that I can listen to the transmissions while watching the track. I also have a number of bookmarks for live internet ATC audio feeds and often monitor Toronto International and others especially during bad weather. It's often quite interesting to listen to the 'banter' and I have had a number of laughs especially during quiet periods when the ATC ops have time for a chit chat with the pilots rather than just crunching the numbers.

Well I did say 'for live tracking in North America'.....DOH! :lol:








...or did you mean you can't access it from your location?

I mean it covers certain areas..like North America and parts or Europe but unfortunately it does not cover my area :-(
